Abdominal visceral fat accumulation is associated with hippocampus volume in non-dementia patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Anan F, Masaki T, Shimomura T, Fujiki M, Umeno Y, Eshima N, Saikawa T, Yoshimatsu H. Anan F, et al. Neuroimage. 2010 Jan 1;49(1):57-62. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.08.021. Epub 2009 Aug 14. Neuroimage. 2010. PMID: 19683583
We tested the hypothesis that an elevated level of visceral fat accumulation (VFA) correlates with hippocampus volume and insulin resistance in non-dementia patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects included 48 non-dementia patients with type 2 diabetes, …
