Table 1.

Mice were divided into four groups: jacketed control, non-jacketed control, partial weight suspension (PWS), and hindlimb unloading (HU). Sample sizes are reported for each group at each individual time point. Experimental groups at earlier time points were repeated in duplicates and triplicates. The variation in the size of the groups occurred as some animals were eliminated from the study after freeing themselves from the suspension system or due to self inflicted tail wounds.
