A moderate spinal contusion injury in rats alters bone turnover both below and above the level of injury with sex-based differences apparent in long-term recovery
Spinal cord injury (SCI) daddario ej10 leads to significant sublesional bone loss and high fracture rates.While loss of mechanical loading plays a significant role in SCI-induced bone loss, animal studies have demonstrated mechanical loading alone does not fully account for loss of bone following SCI.Indeed, we have shown that bone loss occurs belo
