Abstract: Objective To investigate association of pancreatic fat content and lipid levels in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.Methods Fifty four subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 22 volunteers without type 2 diabetes were enrolled in this study.Pancreatic fat content was determined with magnetic resonance imaging.Lipid levels were measured.Results The pancreatic fat content in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and control subjects was (17.13 ± 10.35) ％ and (11.62 ±7.15)％, respectively (P =0.025).Median pancreatic fat content of subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes correlated negatively with total cholesterol level (r =-0.361, P =0.007) and triglycerides level (r =-0.346, P =0.010).Conclusions Increased levels of serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol might relieve the extent of pancreatic fat content.
