Abstract:Rhode Island Red female chicks were subjected to complete closed fracture of the right radius at two weeks post hatching. The animals were allowed to heal for 2 weeks at either earth gravity (1 g) or a 2 g environment with saline injected controls and estrone injected experimentals. Total fractured bone weight was decreased by exposure to the 2 g environment regardless of whether the animal received saline or estrone treatment. The mean weight of fracture callus was significantly decreased when the hypergravit… Show more
