Locomotor recovery and body weight change after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. (A) Hind limb motor function (B) Body weight was evaluated each week up to 6 weeks in uninjured, normal rats and rats subjected to SCI and treated with Matrigel or Matrigel + adipose tissue stromal cell (ATSC) extracts. Animals treated with Matrigel + ATSC extract displayed a significant increase in hind limb motor performance as compared with Matrigel only treated animals (P < 0.05 using the one‐way ANOVA test.). In contrast, animals treated with Matrigel only showed a significant difference in body weight as compared with uninjured animals or those treated with Matrigel + ATSC extract after SCI injury (P < 0.05 using the one way ANOVA test). *Data are the mean ± SD (n = 40).
