Abstract:
Spaceflight exerts substantial effects on several systems in humans. The hematologic abnormalities include mainly reduction in plasma, blood volume and red cell mass et al.The initial studies were focus on the changes in hematologic parameters. However, further studies on the physiological mechanisms of these effects showed substantial progress recently. The new meachnism called neocytolysis of physiological down-regulator of red cell mass was discovered. This review summarizes briefly the recent research findings.
