Three major types of glycemic responses were identified: type I--no change (15.79%); type II--hypoglycemia (49.12%), and type III--hyperglycemia (35.09%). The subjects with a low resistance to hypoxic hypoxia typically showed a low glycemic level (57.5 +/- 2.5 mg%. P < 0.05). It is suggested that three types of glycemic responses to hypoxia reflect three major pathways of biochemical adaptation of the body. It is recommended to study hormonal changes in people with hyperglycemic responses to hypoxia. This will help determine hormonal levels responsible for hyperglycemia and, consequently, develop methods of early detection of susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. This approach may contribute to medical expertise and rehabilitation of the flying personnel.</p>","PeriodicalId":76078,"journal":{"name":"Kosmicheskaia biologiia i aviakosmicheskaia meditsina","volume":"25 5","pages":"10-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19557212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemoglobin content decreased at the Pole (by 22%) and partially recovered in Canada; phospholipids in erythrocyte membranes diminished at the Pole and in Canada (by 30%). During the pass water concentrations in membrane proteins and phospholipids increased significantly. Changes were found in rheological properties of membranes, e.g., viscosity of erythrocyte shadow suspensions at critical temperature (Tc) which is within the physiological range (36-38 degrees C) and viscosity in the temperature range 34-42 degrees C. Electric conductivity varied as a function of temperature (delta sigma(T)]. At 36-38 degrees C sigma showed abnormal variations. The integral intensity of IR-spectra of absorption bands of COp (peptide bonds) and P-O-C (phospholipids) decreased and the half-width of the COp absorption band increased during the pass. The activity of Na+, K(+)-ATPase of erythrocyte shadows diminished which was in correlation with membrane structure changes. The temperature optimum of Na(+)-, K(+)-ATPase occurred at 37-38 degrees C and coincided with the region of the structural phase transition detected by the authors.</p>","PeriodicalId":76078,"journal":{"name":"Kosmicheskaia biologiia i aviakosmicheskaia meditsina","volume":"25 5","pages":"12-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19557213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose was to study the effect of microgravity on bone fracture healing. Histologically and histomorphometrically it was demonstrated that healing was inhibited; as a result, bone callus was poorly developed and bone fragment consolidation was inadequate. An increase in the relative volume of osteoid and a simultaneous decrease in the number and activity of osteoblasts point to mineral disorders of newly formed bone in microgravity. Study of untreated tibia showed that exposure to microgravity led to osteoporosis of proximal metaphyses. This osteoporosis was produced by inhibited neoformation and enhanced resorption of bone. Comparative analysis of injured fibula and untreated tibia of rats exposed to real microgravity for 14 days or tail suspended demonstrated similarity of changes. This indicates that tail suspension can be viewed as an adequate simulation of microgravity with respect to changes in hindlimb bones.</p>","PeriodicalId":76078,"journal":{"name":"Kosmicheskaia biologiia i aviakosmicheskaia meditsina","volume":"25 5","pages":"29-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19557219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
