Open Access4 Day in dry immersion reproduces partially the aging effect on the arteries as observed during 6 month spaceflight or confinement
The objectives of this study were to determine whether 4 days of dry immersion (DI) induced similar arterial aging as spaceflight and to test the impact of thigh cuffs. Eighteen subjects underwent DI; nine wor...
