intramuscular fat (triglycerides) are stored within the muscle fibers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan Savage (talk • contribs) 16:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. IMTG is also known as intramyocellular triacylglycerol. For instance, Matthew J Watt et al. (J Physiol. 2002 Jun 15; 541(Pt 3): 969–978.) call it "Intramuscular triacylglycerol", and describe it as follows: "IMTG is stored in lipid droplets that exist in close proximity to the mitochondria (Boesch et al., Magnetic Resonance in Medicine. 1997;37:484–493)". In turn, Boesch et al. call it "intra-myocellular lipids". The term Intra-myocellular unambiguosly refers to something contained inside (intra) the muscle (myo) fiber (cell).
