Correlation plots comparing BBB scores with metabolite levels at days 11 (circle) and 30 (square).

<p>The eight named metabolites with the highest |R| score are displayed (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0043152#pone.0043152.s002" target="_blank">Table S2</a> for complete list). Sham animals (day 11 and 30) received full BBB score ( = 21), consistent with normal movement. SCI at day 11 and 30 are depicted as •(n = 7) and ▪(n = 8). Sham at day 11 and 30 are displayed as ○(n = 8) and □(n = 8). All data points of Sham animals and SCI animals were used to calculate the R values.
