Pawlak W, Kedziora J, Zolynski K, Kedziora-Kornatowska K, Blaszczyk J, Witkowski P, Zieleniewski J.. Journal of gravitational physiology : a journal of the International Society for Gravitational Physiology, 1998-07-01
Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models
However, bed rest results in many alterations which are disadavantageous. They concern the function of almost all organs and systems but affect most significantly the locomotor and ciruclatory systems.
Key findings
- However, bed rest results in many alterations which are disadavantageous.
- They concern the function of almost all organs and systems but affect most significantly the locomotor and ciruclatory systems.
Why it matters
This study concerns the effects of long-term bed rest on antioxidant defence and lipid peroxidation in men, not Alzheimer's disease. It provides no information relevant to treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 29/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record and institution's track record, so those were left out: it earned 27 of the 93 points we could judge it on, which is 29 out of 100.
