Summary

This trial wants to see if there are differences between men and women in how they handle being tilted at different angles to simulate lower gravity levels, like on the Moon. They will also test if wearing a

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy men and women to study how they handle changes in body position that simulate the gravity levels astronauts face during lunar missions. Participants must be able to tolerate medication that reduces blood fluid levels, similar to conditions in space.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a compression garment can help with orthostatic intolerance (difficulty adjusting to standing up) by simulating Moon gravity through tilting angles. It also examines differences between males and females using potassium supplements, Furosemide (a diuretic), and the garment.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those from taking Furosemide such as dehydration or electrolyte imbalance, discomfort from wearing compression garments, and dizziness or lightheadedness during tilt tests.
