Effect of FMT treatment on body weight, food intake, water consumption, and metabolism. a Changes in body weight over time in Sham, Sham+FMT, SCI, and SCI + FMT groups. b, c food intake (b) and water consumption (c) were examined during the 4 weeks in the four groups. d–g Respiratory quotient (RQ) (d) and energy expenditure (EE) (f) were measured at the end of the experiments. The mean respiratory quotient (Avg_RQ) (e) and mean energy expenditure (Avg_EE) (g) were measured every 5 min for 24 h in SCI group and SCI + FMT group. *p < 0.05 compared to Sham group; **p < 0.01 compared to Sham group; #p < 0.05 compared to SCI group; ##p < 0.01 compared to SCI group
