Neurovascular decoupling of frontoparietal cortex-putamen-cerebellum network in type 2 diabetes patient: Potential biomarker for abnormal eating patterns

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The frontoparietal cortex-putamen-cerebellum network was the suspicious T2DM-related abnormal eating pattern network. Neurovascular decoupling of the network, especially that of Putamen_R, occurred early and might serve as a biomarker for abnormal eating patterns in T2DM patients.

Study context

Population
T2DM patients and matched healthy controls undergoing resting state functional MRI
Participants
41 vs 43
Exposure
T2DM vs healthy controls
  • T2DMn = 41
  • Healthy controls (HC)n = 43reference
Outcome
Effective connectivity of frontoparietal cortex-putamen-cerebellum network
Methodological detailsmatched healthy controls, resting state functional MRI
  • Matched healthy controls
  • Resting state functional MRI

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • T2DM vs HC: P = 0.023

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

OutcomeP value
Fractional windows of the densest stateHigher in T2DMP = 0.009
Mean dwell time of the densest stateHigher in T2DMP = 0.009

Eating behaviour

Increased uncontrolled eating, internal and external loci of hunger in T2DM

Neurovascular decoupling and eating behaviour

Neurovascular decoupling of the network correlated with T2DM-specific eating behaviour characteristics
Neurovascular decoupling coefficient of Putamen_R changed at the very beginning of T2DM
