  • Title: Microgravity, calcium and bone metabolism: a new perspective.
    Author: Holick MF.
    Journal: Acta Astronaut; 1992 Jul; 27():75-81. PubMed ID: 11537602.
    Abstract:
    Microgravity-related bone demineralization is investigated. Spaceflight and bedrest studies are discussed which explore changes in bone mineral content, especially calcium. The mechanism of demineralization is examined and the possibility of bone mineral metabolism adapting to the weightlessness environment is considered.
