Large-scale mRNA analysis of female skeletal muscles during 60 days of bed rest with and without exercise or dietary protein supplementation as countermeasures

Abstract excerpt

Microgravity has a dramatic impact on human physiology, illustrated in particular, with skeletal muscle impairment. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms leading to loss of muscle mass and structural disorders is necessary for defining efficient clinical and spaceflight countermeasures. We investigated the effects of long-term bed rest on the transcriptome of soleus (SOL) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles in...
