Aims:
Determine if the antioxidant rich diet Dried Plum (DP) diet prevents simulated microgravity-induced bone loss.
Determine if DP prevents simulated spaceflight-induced bone loss (microgravity and radiation combined).
Determine if DP is effective as a countermeasure for adverse effects of simulated microgravity and radiation on non-skeletal tissues (brain, eye).
