Physical characteristics after hindlimb suspension.

	CON (n = 10)	Hindlimb suspension (n = 10)
Total mass (g)	335.250 ± 3.918	301.690 ± 7.339∗∗
Lean mass (g)	288.190 ± 4.071	250.330 ± 6.137∗∗∗
Fat mass (g)	36.290 ± 2.425	41.420 ± 1.754
Fat (%)	10.840 ± 0.718	13.800 ± 0.453∗∗

Lean mass, fat mass, and percent fat were measured by DXA analysis following 2-week hindlimb suspension (n = 10). Age-matched rats were used as control (n = 10). All the results were presented as mean ± SEM, ^∗∗p < 0.01 vs. CON, ^∗∗∗p < 0.001 vs. CON.
