Summary
Metabolic changes (a rise of the BMR, of the blood sugar level and of the 17-ketosteroid urinary excretion) pointing to the presence of nervous strain were noted during flights and air plane equipment tests.
In these conditions there was also a rise of the blood cholesterol level and a reduction of the metabolic indices of vitamins C, B1, B2, PP, and B5. This, in turn, indicates their increased expenditure during nervous strain.
