This study reports the effects of a 14-day spaceflight followed by a 14-day reambulation period on bones of 56-day-old male rats compared with synchronous (S) and vivarium (V) control animals. Femur, tibia, and humerus bone mineral densities (BMD); bone calcium and phosphorus concentrations ([Ca2+] and [P]), measured by X-ray microanalysis (XRM), on tibia, vertebra, and calvaria; and histomorphometric data on proximal primary and secondary spongiosae (I and II SP, respectively) of the tibia and humerus were measured. After the flight in flown rats (compared with S), BMD was lower in the distal femur and remained similar to S in humerus and tibia, [Ca2+] and [P] were lower in tibia II SP and higher in calvaria, tibia I SP width and II SP bone volume were lower, resorption was markedly higher in tibia II SP, and no difference in formation parameters was observed. After reambulation, BMD was lower in long bones of both flight and S groups compared with V. Bone loss appeared in humeral II SP and worsened in tibial II SP in flown rats. Tibial formation parameters were higher in flown rats compared with V and S, indicating the onset of an active recovery. Tibial XRM [Ca2+] and [P] in flown rats remained below control levels.
