Lumbar muscle atrophy and increased relative intramuscular lipid concentration are not mitigated by daily artificial gravity after 60-day head-down tilt bed rest
Exposure to axial unloading induces adaptations in paraspinal muscles, as shown after
spaceflights. This study investigated whether daily exposure to artificial gravity (AG) …
