In the crewmembers of four Salyut-6 long-term flights, enzyme excretory function of the gastro-intestinal tract was investigated. These studies included: gastric proenzyme, pepsinogen, and pancreatic enzymes, amylase and lipase, in blood and urine, trypsin in blood, intestinal enzymes, invertase and glycyl-L-leucine dipeptidase in feces, and lipids in feces. The results obtained demonstrated a correlation between changes in enzyme excretion and space flight duration and profile. After the 140- and 175-day flight the most marked changes in the digestive organs were seen; they manifested as a simultaneous increase in secretory function of the stomach and the pancreas. However, after the 185-day flight, in which advanced countermeasures were used, the above changes were less distinct.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008066 Lipolysis The metabolic process of breaking down LIPIDS to release FREE FATTY ACIDS, the major oxidative fuel for the body. Lipolysis may involve dietary lipids in the DIGESTIVE TRACT, circulating lipids in the BLOOD, and stored lipids in the ADIPOSE TISSUE or the LIVER. A number of enzymes are involved in such lipid hydrolysis, such as LIPASE and LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE from various tissues. Lipolyses
D008297 Male Males
D004064 Digestive System A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS). Ailmentary System,Alimentary System
