title: Influence to organs by ten weeks tail suspension.
abstract: The subject of atrophy has been the focus of interest for morphologists as well as the scientist in the space medicine.  Muscle atrophy was noted to be some influence of microgravity in the space.  Using tail suspension techniques, we have studied the influence of gravity to rats.  In the present study, we tried to study the influence of the long term microgravity, ten weeks tail suspension.
