Association of pancreatic fat content with type II diabetes mellitus
Clinical Radiology Nov 17, 2019
Nadarajah C, Fananapazir G, Cui E, et al. - A retrospective survey of a radiology database recognized 45 individuals with T2DM, and 81 “at risk for T2DM” persons who developed diabetes, between 0.6 and 3.7 years following MRI in order to ascertain the relationship between regional fat content in the pancreas and the presence or absence of T2DM, the value of regional pancreatic fat quantification in recognizing people at risk of T2DM, and whether pancreatic fat content was related to glycaemic control in T2DM. A notable variation between the T2DM and control groups for fat fraction in the pancreatic head, body, and tail, but not liver was discovered. On regression analysis, between control group and “at risk” for T2DM group, only the fat fraction within the pancreatic tail was considerably distinct. Pancreatic fat content was not related to glycaemic control. Thus, at risk for T2DM may be determined by elevated fat in the pancreatic tail.
