Sex-specific cardiometabolic responses during microgravity simulation in European Space Agency VIVALDI dry immersion
Abstract Exposure to microgravity is marked by enhanced physical inactivity, reduced gravitational loading and fluid shifts. These characteristics provide a unique model for medical research. Dry immersion is used as a ground-based model to simulate and investigate some of the physiological effects of microgravity experienced by astronauts (body fluid shifts, lack of mechanical support, unloading of the musculoskeletal system and hypokinesia).
Fluid shifts are main drivers for microgravity simulation-induced immune-physiological changes: findings from the VIVALDI studies - npj Microgravity
Abstract Microgravity strongly affects human physiology during spaceflight. Biological sex has not yet been sufficiently considered as a variable for spaceflight deconditioning. The VivalDI studies investigated physiological systems affected by 5-days dry immersion (DI) in females and males, with a focus on immune changes in this report. In both sexes proportions of peripheral granulocytes and NK cells were elevated during DI and T-cell numbers were reduced.
