[Paramecium test for toxic substances in the blood of humans exposed to conditions simulating weightlessness].
The Paramecium test was for the first time used to measure the build-up of toxic substances in the healthy man exposed to simulated weightlessness. The most distinct changes were seen on bed rest days 3 and 7-8 in all test subjects (41 subjects). After bed rest day 8 the parameter reached a plateau, the toxicity level stopped to increase, but the Paramecium test time remained shorter than normal. It can therefore be suggested that the prognosis of any disease that may develop in this situation will be worse. In view of this it is important to improve the prophylaxis and treatment of endogenous and exogenous intoxications during space flight and to provide active detoxication based on the purification of biological fluids by sorption.
