Table 2 Comparisons of diffusion tensor imaging parameters of the hypothalamus between the patient groups and the control group.

	Control group (n=36)	Patient groups (Group A+B, n=36)	p-value	Group A (n=18)	Group B (n=18)	p-value
DTI parameters
FA	0.33±0.03	0.25±0.06	0.005^*	0.24±0.07	0.27±0.04	0.044^*
ADC	1.21±0.16	1.50±0.55	<0.001^*	1.76±0.59	1.24±0.37	0.004*
Values are presented as the mean±standard deviation. DTI – diffusion tensor imaging; FA – fractional anisotropy; ADC – apparent diffusion coefficient. ^* Significantly different between the 2 groups, at
