[Plasma and tissue lipids in rats after a flight on the Kosmos-936 biosatellite]
Abstract:
The content of triglycerides, total cholesterol, phospholipids and nonesterified fatty acids was measured in plasma and tissues of rats flown for 18.5 days on Cosmos-936 in the weightless and centrifuged state. The weightlessness exposure increased lipid fractions in plasma and tissues, and artificial gravity produced a beneficial effect.
