Fig 2. Effect of dry immersion on bone metabolism.

Fig 2

Changes in bone resorption (at left) and formation or mineralization (at right) markers during dry immersion. Values are expressed as medians ± interquartile range for n = 12 except for NTx* which was made for n = 6 only. a,b,c indicate significant differences vs. BDC, DI24h and DI48h, respectively. CTx: C-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type I collagen; NTx: N-terminal crosslinked telopeptide of type I collagen; TRAP5b: tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b; P1CP: procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide; P1NP: procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide; bAP: bone alkaline phosphatase.
