  1. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Body weight and laboratory parameters were obtained after the day of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Comparisons between the diabetic group (DM) and controls were made by using an independent t test. Based on Bonferroni’s correction, p < 0.0083 (0.05/6) was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference
