Microgravity and bone adaptation at the tissue level
1992
Our knowledge of the adaptation of human bone microgravity remains poor despite long-term Russian spaceflights and the recent use of accurate techniques for bone mass measurements. The extent of bone deficits in the adaptation of the whole skeleton is not clear. At the tissue level, bone resorption and formation activities have been studied only in bones from rats after spaceflights lasting a few days to 3 weeks. In these animals, architectural features consistent with osteoporosis have been found in the proximal tibia
