MG levels are significantly increased in the hypothalamus of the obese male TBI mice at day 30 after injury. Compared to lean control (a), lean + TBI (b), and the obese control (c) groups, the obese TBI mice had a significantly higher level of activated MG within the hypothalamus (d). Scale bar = a–d 100 μm. The bar graph presented in e illustrates significant differences between the reported groups. e Unpaired Student’s t test: *P < .0001 vs. obese TBI mice; ^# P < .03 vs. lean control mice; ^$ P < .0001 vs. obese control mice. Approximately 10 animals per group were tested in this study
