Abstract
Aims: This study investigated brain structure in patients of type 1 diabetes with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and type 1 diabetes with neuropathic pain and the associations to clinical, peripheral, and cognitive measurements.
Methods: Sixty individuals with type 1 diabetes and 20 healthy controls were included in the study. Nineteen individuals with type 1 diabetes and neuropathic pain, 19 with type 1 diabetes and DPN, 18 with type 1 diabetes without DPN, and 20 healthy controls were included in the brain analyses. We utilized structural brain magnetic resonance imaging to investigate total and regional gray matter volume.
Results: Significant lower gray matter volume was found in type 1 diabetes with neuropathic pain and in type 1 diabetes without DPN compared to healthy controls (p=0.024 and p=0.019, respectively). Lower insula volume was observed in all three diabetes groups (all p≤0.050). Thalamus and hippocampus volume was lower in type 1 diabetes with neuropathic pain, cerebellum volume was lower in type 1 diabetes with DPN, and somatosensory cortex volume was lower in type 1 diabetes without DPN (all p≤0.018). Attenuated memory was associated with lower gray matter volume in type 1 diabetes with DPN. No associations were found between gray matter volume and clinical/peripheral measurements.
Conclusion: We demonstrated lower gray matter volume in individuals with type 1 diabetes regardless of the presence of DPN and neuropathic pain. Hence, central gray matter alteration was not associated with peripheral alterations.
期刊介绍:
Publishing outstanding articles from all fields of endocrinology and diabetology, from molecular biology to clinical research, this journal is a brilliant resource. Since being published in English in 1983, the popularity of this journal has grown steadily, reflecting the importance of this publication within its field.
Original contributions and short communications appear in each issue along with reviews addressing current topics. In addition, supplementary issues are published each year presenting abstracts or proceedings of national and international scientific meetings.
The journal was initially published in German and is still the oldest endocrinological periodical in the German-language market!
