Even after several decades of extensive research, the basic mechanism of postflight cardiovascular dysfunction has not yet been fully elucidated. It is now well recognized that multiple mechanisms might account for the frequent occurrence of significant postflight orthostatic intolerance. It has been found that all tissues adapt their design when exposed to sustained alteration in local activity and/or stress. The most obvious example is the musculo-skeletal system, structure and function of which might be severely affected during microgravity exposure. In an attempt to elucidate whether structure and function of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle might be affected by simulated by microgravity, a serial work was started several years ago. In this paper, we present our more recent findings on plasticity of arterial vasculature and its innervation state during and after simulated microgravity and its time course.
