title: [Effect of a 140-day flight on the amino acid content of the blood of cosmonauts].
abstract: The results of studying 17 free amino acids in the plasma of the 140-day Salyut-6 crewmembers are presented. The measurements were carried out by means of a Hitachi KLA-3B amino acid analyzer. The data obtained give evidence that the dietary uptake of amino acids before and during flight should be better controlled, the dietary content of amino acids should be enriched with certain amino acids (primarily methionine and cystine) and more adequately balanced. It is recommended to select space diets on an individual basis, taking into consideration anthropometric and metabolic characteristics of cosmonauts.
