Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is any difference in white matter (WM) integrity between Alzheimer's disease (AD) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and without MetS.
METHODS
Altogether, 30 subjects were finally recruited from the Memory Impairment Clinics of Pusan National University Hospital in Korea. All subjects (AD with MetS : n=15, matched AD without MetS for age, gender and year of education : n=15) were underwent 3-tesla magnetic resonance imaging scans of diffusion tensor imaging.
RESULTS
The mean fractional anisotropy of the AD with MetS was lower (p<0.05) in right posterior corona radiate, right corticospinal tract and right superior longitudinal fasciculus than that of the AD without MetS.
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that WM integrity damage.
