Central hemodynamics and regional femoral blood flows during unloading.

Control
10-min Unloaded		 7-Day
Unloaded		 14-Day
Unloaded
Heart rate, beats/min 463 ± 17 435 ± 10* 428 ± 13*
Caudal tail arterial pressure, mmHg 130 ± 6 125 ± 3 115 ± 5*
Regional blood flow, ml/min/100 g
 Proximal metaphysis 16 ± 3 15 ± 4 13 ± 4
 Diaphysis 10 ± 2 10 ± 2 8 ± 1
 Diaphyseal marrow 37 ± 8 35 ± 7 28 ± 7
 Distal metaphysis 21 ± 3 20 ± 4 18 ± 4

Values are means ± SE; n = 13 for control, n = 11 for 7-d HU, and n = 11 for 14-d HU during the unloaded condition.

*

Mean significantly different from control unloaded mean (P<0.05).
