A review of the effects of microgravity and of hypergravity on aging and longevity.

摘要: This article reviews the literature dealing with effects of acute or chronic exposure to microgravity (spacecrafts) hypergravity (centrifuge) on longevity and aging process. Even if space flights are now common, these two kinds environment still poorly documented, particularly in mammals. However, there is a growing interest for use fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, this species may be considered as model organism gravitational biology studies aging.
