[Characteristics of metabolism of human erythrocytes after long-term space flight]. / Osobennosti metabolizma eritrotsitov cheloveka v usloviiakh dlitel'nogo kosmicheskogo poleta.

Before and after the 150-day Salyut-7 flight the crewmembers were examined for their red blood metabolism, viz: major metabolic pathways (glycolytic and pentosophosphate), erythrocyte resistance, membrane permeability and lipid peroxidation rate. The resulting data indicate that the metabolic and membrane changes were not pathological and can be classified as adaptive.

[31P-NMR study of kinetics of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate degradation in human erythrocytes during their depletion]. / Izuchenie kinetiki raspada 2,3-difosfoglitserata metodom 31P-IaMR v éritrotsitakh cheloveka v usloviiakh istoshcheniia.

2.3-Diphosphoglycerate degradation kinetics was studied under conditions of human erythrocyte depletion, using the method of 31P-NMR of high performance. The kinetic curve was shown to have a plateau during the first 1.5-2 hours after the beginning of depletion. Possible mechanisms providing for the appearance of such a plateau are discussed.
