Abstract:
Many studies on the effects of gravity have been reported using animals or human being since the gravity influences the biological body in space. Especially suspension techniques for rat have been used as a microgravity simulation. This study is a report on the relation between serum enzymes such as CK and muscle atrophy, caused by tail suspension in rats.
