TBI increases the sympathetic tone. a Quantitative analysis of serum norepinephrine (NE) by ELISA assay from fracture patients with or without concomitant TBI. b, c Representative immunofluorescence (IF) staining and quantitative analysis of TH expression in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus from 4-month-old male mice with fracture combined sham or TBI operation at the 7th day and 14th day post operation. Scale bar: 200 μm. d Quantitative analysis of serum NE by ELISA assay from 4-month-old male mice with fracture combined sham or TBI operation at the 7th day and 14th day post operation. e Quantitative analysis of mRNA expression of UCP1 in brown adipose tissue from 4-month-old male mice with fracture combined sham or TBI operation at the 7th day and 14th day post operation. f, g Representative IF staining and quantitative analysis of TH expression in the bone marrow from 4-month-old male mice with fracture combined sham or TBI operation at 7th day and 14th day post operation. Scale bar: 50 μm. h Quantitative analysis of bone marrow fluid NE by ELISA assay from 4-month-old male mice with fracture combined sham or TBI operation at the 7th day and 14th day post operation. All data are presented as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001. Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed Student’s t test
