Seven male rats were exposed to 7 days of weightlessness in the Soviet mission COSMOS 1667 and compared with seven control rats by bone histomorphometric methods. In proximal tibial metaphysis, the trabecular bone volume was markedly reduced in flight animals. Trabeculae were decreased in number and thickness; this probably leads to alteration of bone mechanical properties. Formation activity (reflected by measurements of osteoid seams) was decreased at trabecular and endosteal levels. Resorption activity (estimated by count of osteoclast number and active resorption surfaces using a histoenzymologic method) remained unchanged. The imbalance between these cellular activities appears to be responsible for the loss of trabecular bone mass. In proximal femoral metaphysis, measurements were performed in an area located under the muscular insertions. The trabecular bone volume, despite a slight decrease in flight rats, was not significantly different from that of control rats. Furthermore, osteoclastic and osteoid parameters were unchanged. Differential responses between these two long bones need additional investigations. In thoracic and lumbar vertebrae no detectable change in bone mass and bone resorption parameters was found.
