  • Title: Structural and metabolic characteristics of rhesus monkey m. soleus after spaceflight.
    Author: Shenkman BS, Belozerova IN, Lee P, Nemirovskaya TL.
    Journal: J Gravit Physiol; 2000 Jan; 7(1):S39-42. PubMed ID: 11543455.
    Abstract:
    The effect of microgravity and diminished motor activity on m. soleus fibers of rhesus monkeys was investigated. A significant size reduction of both slow- and fast-twitch fibers was found in the flight animals only. Also, total protein and capillary per fiber number were shown to decrease in the flight animals.
