Contents:
I. Nutritional requirements in Space -- II. Nutrition in space -- Introduction -- Energy-, macronutrient supply and effects in spaceflight -- Fluid and electrolyte metabolism -- Fat-soluble vitamins -- Water-soluble vitamins -- Minerals and trace elements -- Supplements.
Summary: This book provides an overview of microgravity-induced changes in human metabolism, muscle, bone and the cardio-vascular system, and discusses in detail the nutrient uptake required during spaceflight to counteract these adaptive mechanisms and ensure an improved physical constitution upon returning to Earth. It addresses the needs of professors, researchers and students working in the field of human physiology and nutrition.
