If patients consent to participate in the ancillary study of marrow fat changes with pioglitazone, those that are randomized to placebo or 15 mg pioglitazone for 12 months (per the criteria in the main study) will also undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the lumbar spine at L1, L2 and L3. MR spectroscopy of the lumbar spine (if they choose as this is ancillary study) will be performed 3 times over the course of the study.
