To estimate the effect of diabetes on vertebral bone marrow, twelve young New Zealand White rabbits including alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits (n=6) and the controls (n=6) underwent sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (IDEAL-IQ, DCE-MRI) of lumbar at each time point. At the week of 16, all rabbits were killed. L7 sampling, HE staining and immunoperoxidase CD31 labeling were performed. According to statistical analysis, there were statistically significant differences of the vertebral DCE-MRI parameters and fat fraction (FF) between the diabetic groups and controls at each time point. The variety of vertebral microvascular permeability was strongly associated with the increasing vertebral fat deposition.
