a Immunocytochemical staining of phaloidin for actin filaments (orange) and DAPI for cell nuclei). Cells showed increase in nuclear fragments (left panel) as well as rupture of the nuclear envelope (right panel). b Significant increase in the percentage of nuclear fragments in fibroblasts exposed to 20 × g transition compared to 1 g controls (P = 0.004, n = 102). Error bars show standard deviation. smg = simulated microgravity. 15 × g T and 20 × g T are hypergravity transition groups. **P < 0.005. Statistical tests included ANOVA followed by post hoc analysis (see "Statistical analyses”).
