Effect of hindlimb unloading and reloading on muscle mass. Muscle wet weight of the soleus (Sol), medial gastrocnemius (MG), tibialis anterior (TA), and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) of female Sprague Dawley rats following hindlimb unloading for 21 days (A) and hindlimb unloading for 14 days followed by 14 days of reloading (B). Data points are mean ± SD (n = 10/time point). A separate cohort of controls was taken at the start (start of HLS) and end (shaded area) of the experiment to assess normal growth over the 28 day experiment. The control rats were allowed food and water ad libitum over the 28 day period.
