Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumetry in the hippocampus of rats. Tissue volumetric values (mean ± SD; gray background) of the hippocampus for control (C; n = 8) followed by Met diet (MDG; n = 8) treated animals. Using independent-samples two-tailed t-tests (SPSS software, version 15.0; Chicago, IL, USA), were not obtained p-values expressing statistical differences in metabolite ratios between the groups (yellow background). Displayed is hippocampal normal volume threshold (C and percentages of tissue volume change; mean ± SD; green background) and hippocampal volume change in the MDG group with respect to normal volume threshold in the hippocampus.
| HIPPOCAMPUS | ||
|---|---|---|
| volume change mean ± SD tissue volume mean ± SD |
C (volume threshold) 91.7 mm3 |
MDG 10 ± 2 % |
| C 96.51 ± 4.78 mm3 |
- | independent sample 2-tailed t-test |
| MDG 100.85 ± 1.82 mm3 |

“-“ means the statistical significance between C/C and MDG/MDG.
