Figure 2. MOX treatment mitigated the dysregulation of weight gain and metabolic profiling in SCI mice (*P value < 0.05 vs. SHAM group; #P value < 0.05 vs. SCI group). (A) Body weight during 0-28 days post-SCI surgery in the SHAM group, SHAM+MOX group, SCI group and SCI+MOX group; (B) Food intake in the SHAM group, SHAM+MOX group, SCI group and SCI+MOX group; (C) Energy expenditure in the SHAM group, SHAM+MOX group, SCI group and SCI+MOX group; (D) Respiratory quotient in the SHAM group, SHAM+MOX group, SCI group and SCI+MOX group.
