title: Effects of exercise on rats subjected to tail suspension.
abstract: Deterioration of vital functions is observed in living organisms in microgravity.  However, this deterioration can be arrested by adequate exercises.  In this study, utilizing tail suspension in rats to simulate microgravity, we examined the influence of running exercise every other day on blood constituents, visceral parameters, and muscles.
