  • Title: Understanding metabolic alterations in space flight using quantitative models: fluid and energy balance.
    Author: Leonard JI.
    Journal: Acta Astronaut; 1986; 13(6-7):441-57. PubMed ID: 11538852.
    Abstract:
    This report summarizes many of the results obtained during the Skylab program, on metabolic changes during weightlessness. The examination of the data was conducted following an integrated multi-disciplinary and multi-experimental approach. Emphasis is given on several major aspects of metabolic adaptation to space flight: fluid-electrolyte regulation, mechanisms of hormone disturbances, energy balance and etiology of weight loss. The aim is to obtain a composite picture of the fluid, electrolyte and energy response to weightlessness.
