Metabolomics analysis of different segments of the spinal cord of PTSM injured animals (n = 5) showing PTSM rostral, PTSM injury, PTSM caudal, compared to laminectomy-only control animals (n = 5). A. LC–MS measurement of betaine, carnitine, alpha glycerophosphocholine, arginine, creatine, guanidinoacetate and spermidine on the spinal cord from different groups: Lam (laminectomy-only), PTSM I (PTSM syrinx site), PTSM C (caudal to PTSM syrinx site), PTSM R (rostral to PTSM syrinx site) six weeks after injury. Statistics via one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc with p < 0.05. * denotes p < 0.05, ** denotes p < 0.01, and *** denotes p < 0.005. All data shown are Mean ± Standard Deviation. B. Images for arginine and betaine using mass spectroscopy imaging technique in PTSM injury (n = 1) and laminectomy-only (n = 1) groups
