Study examining metabolic modeling of the international space station microbiome. Space travel induces significant metabolic changes, including insulin resistance, altered lipid profiles, and reduced metabolic rate. Vitamin D deficiency and gut microbiome shifts are common. These metabolic adaptations have implications for nutrition planning and long-term health maintenance during extended missions.
Study examining metabolic modeling of the international space station microbiome. Metabolic function was substantially altered in space environments. Glucose metabolism showed insulin resistance patterns. Lipid profiles shifted with elevated triglycerides. Energy expenditure patterns changed despite controlled diet. Metabolic rate decreased by 5-10% during long missions. Vitamin D deficiency was common despite supplementation. Gut microbiome composition shifted significantly.
