Comparison of hypo- and hypergravity effects on skeletal muscle.
Numerous observations suggest importance of gravitational loading in regulating muscle mass. Thus, centrifugation is believed to be useful for preventing muscle functional and structural losses under microgravity conditions. The aim of the present work was to evaluate plasticity of skeletal muscle exposed to chronic hypergravity.
