Using Nrf2 knockout mice, Suzuki, Uruno, Yumoto et al. show that space travel activates Nrf2 signaling, which contributes to the weight gain of mice by regulating fat metabolism of white adipose tissues. This study provides insights into potential interventions to mitigate stresses that accompany space travels.
