Metabolic parameters correlations with the number of BrdU- and DCX-positive cells in the cortex and hippocampus, and cortical and hippocampal thickness of db/db mice.

Body weight, glucose and insulin may serve as predictors of the number of BrdU and DCX positive cells in the cortex and the hippocampus of db/db mice (4, 14 and 26 weeks of age). Significant negative correlations were also detected between metabolic parameters and cortical thickness. Data are representative of 28–30 mice and significant correlations were detected by Spearman’s rank correlations are presented (**p
