Changes in resting-state brain glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes

  • ObjectiveTo invetigate the metabolic changes in the resting brain glucose of patients with type 2 diabetes but without brain metastasis.
    MethodsA total of 96 patients with type 2 diabetes were confirmed by 18F-FDG PET/CT examination. The whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT images of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety-six healthy subjects were included as controls for comparison. The metabolic changes in resting brain glucose of the 96 patients with type 2 diabetes were analyzed using a statistical parametric mapping software. Data were processed with two independent sample t test of voxel to voxel in the images.
    ResultsCompared with the control group, the hypometabolic brain areas in patients with type 2 diabetes were in the bilateral middle-inferior frontal, bilateral superior-heschl gyrus, bilateral superior-middle-lingual gyrus, calcarine cortex, bilateral inferior parietal gyrus, and bilateral wedge anterior lobe(t=5.51-6.42, all P < 0.001). Hypermetabolic areas were not observed in patients.
    ConclusionsThe reduced metabolic cerebral regions in the patients with type 2 diabetes involved a number of functional regions related to visual cortex and mood disorders.
