Fig. 1. Effects of spaceflight on body weight and wet weight of skeletal muscles of mice, fed a diet with or without fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS).

Fig. 1

The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). The data pertaining to body weight, absolute wet weight of soleus (Sol) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, and the wet weight of Sol and EDL muscles relative to body weight are depicted in panels (a−c), respectively. Ground control (GC): group of mice raised in the ground model of the Multiple Artificial-gravity Research System habitat and transportation cage units; artificial 1-g (A1-g): group of mice raised under artificial 1-g on the International Space Station (ISS); microgravity (μ-g): group of mice raised under μ-g on the ISS; and FOS (+) or (−): groups of mice fed a diet with or without FOS, respectively.
