Effects of bed-rest on urea and creatinine: correlation with changes in fat-free mass.

<h4>Background</h4>Bed-rest experiments are designed for investigation on catabolic effects of hypokinetic conditions and/or for microgravity simulation in on-ground aerospace research. Bed-rest effects include a reduction in fat-free mass and muscle mass. Urea and creatinine are catabol...
