State of erythrocyte membrane in man and monkeys after space flight.
The lipid and phospholipid composition of the erythrocyte membrane was investigated in man after long space flight and monkey after short space.  The result obtained confirm structural changes in EM under the influence of SF factors and show that an increase of Ch and ChE fractions and in the Ch&ChE/PL ratio combined with a decrease of PL fractions.  It was noticed that the magnitude of these changes is depend on duration of space flight.
