  1. Gashev AA, Delp MD, Zawieja DC. Inhibition of the active lymph pump by simulated microgravity in rats. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2006 Jan 6; [Epub ahead of print] (HSR&T PI: M.D. Delp) Note: From paper: "In summary, we performed for the first time a detailed evaluation of the influence of simulated microgravity on isolated lymphatic contractile function. Using the HDT rat as a model, we found that simulated microgravity caused a potent inhibition of pressure/stretch induced responses in isolated lymphatics from all four investigated regional lymphatic beds (thoracic duct, cervical, mesenteric and femoral lymphatics)."
