Choroid measurements appear to be sensitive to changes in gravitational gradients, as well as periods of head-down tilt (HDT) bed rest, suggesting that they are potential indicators of early ocular remodeling and could serve to evaluate the efficacy of countermeasures for SANS. Eight hours of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) daily attenuates the choroid expansion associated with 3 days of strict −6° HDT bed rest, indicating that LBNP may be an effective countermeasure for SANS.
