High impact information on Gravity, Altered

• Artificial gravity considerations for a mars exploration mission [1].
• The effects of body position and artificial gravity on the manifestation of PLI were also examined [2].
• Exposure of animals to artificial gravity conditions leads to the alteration of the glutamate release from rat cerebral hemispheres nerve terminals [3].
• This paper discusses some of the major vestibular reactions affecting human factors encountered in all space missions, and covers them chronologically in the following sequence: launch, early on-orbit, late on-orbit, EVA, artificial gravity, re-entry, and post-landing [4].
• Most of the time on a Mars trip will be spent in the 1/3 Earth's gravity environment on Mars, and either intermittent or continuous artificial gravity can be provided for the transit between planets (although at an engineering cost) [5].

Anatomical context of Gravity, Altered

• Exposing the rats aboard the biosatellite to artificial gravity was beneficial in the sense that such exposure inhibited the phospholipid and triacylglycerol increase in plasma and inhibited the increase of triacylglycerol in liver and especially in bone marrow [6].

Gene context of Gravity, Altered

• It is assumed that artificial gravity shall be available on board the Mars spacecraft [7].
• The -Gz force was generated by a short arm centrifuge (AGS or artificial gravity simulator) which has four beds radially oriented on a circular platform and allows variation of the Gz force by controlling the angular velocity [8].
