A new type of simulated partial gravity apparatus for rats based on a pully-spring system [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The return to the Moon and the landing on Mars has emphasized the need for greater attention to the effects of partial gravity on human health. Here, we sought to devise a new type of simulated partial gravity apparatus that could more efficiently and ...

Venous and Arterial Responses to Partial Gravity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Introduction: Chronic exposure to the weightlessness-induced cephalad fluid shift is hypothesized to be a primary contributor to the development of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) and may be associated with an increased risk of venous

Depression of Bone Density at the Weight-Bearing Joints in Wistar Hannover Rats by a Simulated Mechanical Stress Associated With Partial Gravity Environment [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The partial gravity environment in space can negatively affect bone health. This survey aimed to study the reaction of different parts of the lower limb bones of rats to partial gravity and the effects of different degrees of gravity on these bony parts.

Neuronal Activity in the Subthalamic Cerebrovasodilator Area under Partial-Gravity Conditions in Rats [PDF]
Life, 2014 The reduced-gravity environment in space is known to cause an upward shift in body fluids and thus require cardiovascular adaptations in astronauts. In this study, we recorded in rats the neuronal activity in the subthalamic cerebrovasodilator area (SVA),

Sex differences in muscle health in simulated micro- and partial-gravity environments in rats [PDF]
Sports Medicine and Health Science, 2023 Skeletal muscle size and strength are important for overall health for astronauts. However, how male and female muscle may respond differently to micro- and partial-gravity environments is not fully understood.
