A cross-sectional study using magnetization transfer
ratio (MTR) imaging was performed to examine the
biophysical integrity of macromolecular protein pools in
gray matter and white matter of the
fronto-striato-thalamic circuits in patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and comparison controls to
determine the impacts of T2DM on the abnormalities of
human brain. Compared with non-diabetic controls, T2DM
patients had significantly lower MTR in dorsal anterior
cingulate cortex (ACC) and head of caudate nucleus (hCaud),
also with a tendency to significance in rostral ACC. The
compromised MTRs were correlated with T2DM-related
clinical measures and neuropsychological performance in
distinct domains.
