[Nitrogen metabolism in humans during long-term exposure to hyperbaric conditions]

Results from studies of nitrogenous exchange in a man during long exposure to the hyperbaric conditions (4.1, 4.6, 5.1 MPa, that corresponds to 400, 450 and 500 m) have shown that catabolism of proteins in man under conditions of high pressure of gas and aquatic environments is intensified due to the primarily intensive muscular work. The experimental ration which has been corrected from test to test by the results of studies practically completely satisfies the increasing demands of the organism in proteins, that is evidenced for by the stable content of total protein and its fractions in blood.
