  • Title: [Enzyme activity of carbohydrate metabolism in rat skeletal muscle after space flight].
    Author: Nesterov VP, Veresotskaia NA, Tigranian RA.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1981; 15(5):75-8. PubMed ID: 7289570.
    Abstract:
    Space flight factors did not influence activity of glycogen phosphorylase and adenylate cyclase in skeletal muscles of rats. Activity of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases increased noticeably in the most active muscles (gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles). Activation of enzymes involved in the pentosephosphate pathway of glucose conversion may be associated with compensatory processes induced by muscle changes due to diminished motor activity of animals in space flight.
