Metabolic parameters of Bion 11 monkeys.
Biochemical parameters of protein, carbohydrate, and fluid-electrolyte metabolism were measured in the blood of Bion 11 rhesus monkeys. The 14-day flight induced changes in total protein, BUN, and calcium, which were also seen in humans during long-duration space missions. It was concluded that protein and calcium metabolism changed while carbohydrate metabolism remained unaltered.
