Title: Research opportunities in bone demineralization. Final report, Phase III

Abstract

The report comprises an overview of bone demineralization during space flight, observations of the ad hoc Working Group on the NASA Biomedical Research Program in Bone Demineralization and experiments related to bone loss planned for Spacelab flights, and suggestions for further research. The observations of the ad hoc Working Group focused upon the following topics: (1) pathogenesis of bone demineralization, (2) potential for occurrence of renal stones consequent to prolonged hypercalciuria, (3) development of appropriate ground-based and inflight models to study bone demineralization, (4) integration of research efforts, and (5) development of effective countermeasures. Priorities for further research are indicated. 174 references.
