Treatment:

Treatment ID:	TR000831
Treatment Summary:	To test the hypothesis that optimizing dietary fat will facilitate myelin repair after SCI, the diet of uninjured adult female C57BL6/J mice (12 week, 22-25g, Jackson), or those with experimental contusion-compression SCI of the lumbosacral spinal cord (L2-L3) (Fejota Clip 3g Force, applied for 30s)32,47 will be supplemented with saturated fat. The 3g Clip produces moderate SCI including demyelination and clinical impairment and we recently published a detailed methodology. At 1 week after injury, the 3g injured mice are expected to have an average Basso Mouse Scale score (BMS)=5 on a 9 point scale such that they have frequent plantar stepping with no or some coordination. This level of impairment was chosen to provide a sufficient window to observe recovery, and to be at a level compatible with examination of exercise training by wheel running (Aim 2).
