As many as 40 black rats were sent to the space station in December last year to find out how astronauts go on long-term space missions to affect their muscles and body. Has become. The experiment was performed by a research team at the Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut.

According to a study published in a science journal, the rats were not given any regular medication. In the non-gravitational position, muscle and bone mass decreased by 15%. Scientists also sent six genetically modified mice into space, which were considered to be Mighty Mice.

Not only did these mighty rats lose weight but their muscles doubled. Eight normal rats that were given the medicine of mighty rats in space. They also developed a lot of muscle. The weight of these muscles was controlled by a protein. The Space X capsule brought back all 40 rats that had been parachuted into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.

If some normal rats were given potent rats, their muscles would develop faster than other rats. Scientists completed the experiment when the corona virus was spreading rapidly in the United States. The biggest advantage of the Covid-12 to the researchers was that they had time to prepare a detailed classification and report. There is still plenty of time to experiment on humans but research on mice has been carried out on humans in the past.
