Magnesium is an essential nutrient for muscle, cardiovascular, and bone health on Earth, and during space flight. We sought to evaluate magnesium status in 43 astronauts (34 male, 9 female; 47 ± 5 years old, mean ± SD) before, during, and after 4-6-month space missions.

This paper evaluates the use of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) developed Foodbars as a standard space flight diet for rats. The Foodbar’s semipurified formulation permits criteria su...
متن کاملHuman and rodent ground-based models of space flight environments.

Flight opportunities of any kind are rare, but at the same time it is clear that a new era is dawning. The completion of the International Space Station (ISS) will provide mankind, for the first time, with an international, permanently manned outpost for research in space. Lookin...
