Ultrasonographic Characterization of the db/db Mouse: An Animal Model of Metabolic Abnormalities

Table 4

Ultrasonographic hepatic and renal parameters in the two groups of mice.

	wt	db/db
RI	0.64 [0.12]	0.73 [0.12]
PI	1.02 [0.23]	1.23 [0.31]
steatoscore	0.79 [0.34]	0.95 [0.29]

Data are presented as median [IQR]. versus wt. RI: renal resistivity index; PI: renal pulsatility index; steatoscore: surrogate index of steatosis degree.
