Figure 1. Changes of hematological indexes by a load to +3 or +9 Gz hypergravity.

(A) A new equation created using reported effects of gravity on mortality vs. masses of different animals. A scaling in hypergravity was extrapolated to that of human using the proposed equation. (B) Hematological parameters. The activities of aminotransferases, creatine phosphate kinase (CPK), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine contents in serum were measured as injury markers of the liver, skeletal muscle and kidney, respectively, immediately following exposure of mice to a single load to +3 or +9 Gz for 1 h or 3 h. Data represent the mean±S.E (N = 3-4 each). Statistical significance of the differences between hypergravity stress and control group (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Con, control.
