Model of hindlimb unloading in adult female rats: Characterizing bone physicochemical, microstructural, and biomechanical properties.

Model of hindlimb unloading in adult female rats: Characterizing bone physicochemical, microstructural, and biomechanical properties.

Prolonged bedrest and microgravity induce alterations to bone, leading to bone fragility and compromising the quality of life. In this study, we characterized the physicochemical changes, microstructure, and biomechanics of the femurs of female adult rats in response to hindlimb unloading for 21 day...
