Bone metabolism during strict head-down tilt bed rest and exposure to elevated levels of ambient CO2

Abstract Astronauts on the International Space Station are exposed to levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) above typical terrestrial levels. We explored the possibility that increased levels of ambient CO2 further stimulate bone resorption during bed rest. We report here data from 2 ground-bas...
