Muscle derived serum enzyme accumulation after +Gz acceleration test in Rhesus monkeys exposed to bed rest
Abstract
It is known that several hours of intensive muscle tension result in accumulation of muscle derived enzymes and structural proteins (see review by Clarkson, 1997). We have assumed that, firstly, acute exposure to hypergravity may induce accumulation of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), and, secondly, level of that accumulation may be considerably altered after long term hypokinesia.
