Description - Nutrition in Space Flight and Weightlessness Models by Helen W. Lane

This book is the first attempt to consolidate nutritional observations from 38 years of human spaceflight. It is a compilation of all the nutritional knowledge and accomplishments from the early 1970s to the recent NASA-MIR program. It provides broad coverage as to the effect of space and weightlessness on nutrition and physiology. Nutrition in Spaceflight and Weightlessness Models addresses the utility of ground-based weightlessness simulations, electrolytes, protein-muscle homeostasis, calcium and iron metabolism, and energy utilization and explores the results of basic research in space cell biology, new concepts and recommendations for astronaut nutrition and the future of space flight.
