Effect of weightlessness on the function of rat skeletal muscles on the biosatellite "Cosmos-1129"

M Rapcsák et al. Acta Physiol Hung. 1983.

Abstract

Isometric tension of glycerinated fibrils of different skeletal muscles was studied in white rats carried in the biosatellite "Cosmos-1129" for 18.5 days. Expression and trends of the changes in contractile properties of muscle preparations depend on their functional specialization. The most sensitive reaction was displayed by the soleus muscle which consists predominantly of slow fibres.
