Human and rodent ground-based models of space flight environments.
Today, as we stand on the brink of the 21 century, access to space is still limited and flight costs are still high. 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...
متن کاملSpatial Orientation during Locomotion following Space Flight
To investigate changes in spatial orientation ability and walking performance following space flight, 7 astronaut subjects were asked preand post-flight to perform a goal directed locomotion paradigm which consisted of walking a triangular path with and without vision. This new paradigm, involving inputs from different sensory systems, allows quantification of several critical parameters, like ...
متن کاملCalcium and bone metabolism during space flight.
Weightlessness induces bone loss. Understanding the nature of this loss and developing means to counteract it are significant challenges to potential human exploration missions. This article reviews the existing information from studies of bone and calcium metabolism conducted during space flight. It also highlights areas where nutrition may play a specific role in this bone loss, and where cou...
متن کاملMagnesium and Space Flight
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. We also studied individuals participating in a ground analog of space flight (head-down-tilt bed rest; n = 27 (17 male, 10 fem...
متن کاملSpace Flight Studies
A standard rodent diet for space flight must meet the unique conditions imposed by the space environment and must be nutritionally adequate since diet can influence the outcome of experiments. 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...
