Acetylcholine synthesis, storage, degredation and nicotinic receptores in a rat model for space-induced muscle atrophy

Creator:

Royland, Joyce E.

Abstract:

Space flight results in loss of mass and function in skeletal muscle. Data from manned flights and animal biosatellites give evidence of possible changes in neuromuscular interactions. Components at the neuromuscular junction are a potential site of action for this space-induced muscle atrophy. We examined the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor population...

The Role of Bone Marrow Adipose Tissue in Bone Loss During Spaceflight and Simulated Spaceflight in Rodents

Creator:

Keune, Jessica Ann

Abstract:

The reduction in mechanical load imparted on the body during spaceflight presents unique physiological challenges. One detrimental and seemingly unavoidable response to microgravity is rapid bone loss. This adaptation is hazardous not only to astronaut health, but to the success of long-duration exploration-class missions. Skeletal adaptation to spaceflight in astronauts...
