[Results of a study of metabolic processes in members of the crew of the 2d expedition of the "Sliut-4" orbital station]. / Rezul'taty issledovaniia protsessov metabolizma u chlenov ékipazha vtoroi ékspeditsii orbital'noi stantsii "Saliut-4"

A detailed biochemical analysis of the venous blood and daily urine samples of the crewmembers of the Salyut-4 second expedition after their 63-day space flight showed metabolic changes as compared with the preflight level. The changes were more marked immediately postflight. On the 7th postflight day most parameters studied tended to return to the preflight values. This study did not demonstrate any adverse biochemical changes that may prevent long-duration manned space flights.
