Development of osteoporosis in primates in hypokinesia with head-down tilt.
It has been shown earlier that 7-19 day exposure of monkeys to hypokinesia with head-down tilt (HDT) produces osteopenia in their load-bearing bones. The present work continued the investigations of osteopenia dynamics in monkeys which had been under the HDT conditions for 15 and 30 days.
