An Evaluation of Collagen Metabolism in Non-Human Primates Associated with the Bion Space Program-Markers of Urinary Collagen Turnover and Muscle Tissue Collagen Types

摘要

The purpose of this paper was to study the residual effects in a growing animal during recovery from a micro-gravity environment and to examine the effects of caging upon the growth and maturation of the tibia and humerus in order for recommendations to be made in the implementation of suitable housing modules for future spaceflight research.
