The Effect of Obesity on Brain Diffusion Alteration in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Figure 3
(a) The figure shows that the ADC values (×10−6 mm²/s) in hypothalamus, insular cortex, parietal cortex, caudate nucleus, posterior limb of internal capsula, and frontal white matter were significantly increased in total obese patients compared to control group. (b) The figure shows that the ADC values (×10−6 mm²/s) in hypothalamus, insular cortex, parietal cortex, caudate nucleus, and frontal white matter were significantly higher in morbid obese compared to control group. (c) The figure shows that the ADC values (×10−6 mm²/s) in midbrain, hypothalamus, orbitofrontal cortex, and parietal cortex were significantly increased in morbid obese compared to obese patients.
