Abstract Objective To observe the effect of simulated weightlessness on DRG in female rat model. Method 80 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly designated as HU groups (n=40) and normal control(NC) groups (n=40). Four weeks later, the L5 DRG was excised, lumbar 5 DRG were stained with HE staining, the myelin of DRG was observed by using immunohistochemistry. TEM method aimed to observe the DRG myelin and mitochondria. Results HE staining showed that, in HU groups, the arrangement between cells in DRG were slightly loose, some ganglion cells and satellite cells were separated. IOD in NC groups was 0.573±0.007, which was lower than in HU groups (0.802±0.009)(P<0.05). In HU group, the structure of myelin was disorderly and twisted. Mitochondria in HU group were swollen and deformed obviously. Conclusions Stimulated weightlessness can cause the damage changes in the DRG myelin and mitochondria. These suggests that simulated weightlessness can cause damage in female rat DRG.
