Effects of vestibular lesion (VL) on hypergravity‐induced changes in body weight, muscle, and fat masses. Body weight (A), muscle mass surrounding the tibia (B), tissue weight of soleus and gastrocnemius muscles (C), and fat mass surrounding the tibia (D) in mice with VL or sham operation after exposure to 1 g or 3 g for 4 weeks. Muscle mass (B) and fat mass (D) surrounding the tibia were assessed by QCT and adjusted for body weight. (E) Serum sample was collected from mice with sham or VL surgery after exposure to 1 g or 3 g for 4 weeks. Then, serum corticosterone levels were quantified as described in Materials and Methods. Data represent the mean ± SEM of 8 (1 g sham and 3 g sham groups), 9 (1 g VL group), and 7 (3 g VL group) mice (A, B, D). Data represent the mean ± SEM of 4 (C) and 8 (E) mice in each group. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01.
