Variations in recovery and readaptation to load bearing conditions after space flight and whole body suspension in the ratResult are presented on studies of the effects of space flight and simulated microgravity on the cardiovascular and electrolyte characteristics, the adrenal gland weight, and hormonal responses of rats flown aboard Cosmos-605 and -782 or exposed to whole-body tail suspension. Results indicate an age-independent decrease in circulating antinatriuretic factor (ANF) in suspended rats, indicating that ANF may not significantly contribute to the sustained elevated bariuresis and diuresis observed in chronic head-down-suspended rats.
