  • Title: [Clinico-biochemical aspects of human adaptation in central Antarctica as applied to the problems of space biology and medicine].
    Author: Kurbanov VV, Khmel'kov VP, Krupina TN, Kuznetscv AG, Kuz'min MP.
    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1977; 11(4):34-41. PubMed ID: 904282.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents the results of clinical, physiological and biochemical examination of 27 polar explorer--members of the 17th Soviet Antartic Expedition at the Vostok station. It gives data on the morbidity rate and describes the development of the asthenic-neurotic syndrome. On the basis of studies of catecholamines and serotonin, the role of the sympatho-adrenal system in the human adaptation to the harsh environments of the Central Antarctica has been shown.
