What Researchers Did
Researchers studied how protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism changed in men living in a high-pressure nitrogen-oxygen environment at 5 ATA for 15-18 days.
What They Found
In the first experiment, men not given vitamin supplements showed changes in nitrogen metabolism and higher blood sugar levels. However, men who received an Undevit vitamin complex in the second and third experiments displayed only minor or no such changes. All metabolic parameters returned to normal after the experiments, though the time this took varied.
Canadian Relevance
No direct Canadian connection identified.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation of this study is the very small number of participants, with only two test subjects in each of the three experimental series.
