Six degrees head-down tilt bed rest caused low-grade hemolysis: a prospective randomized clinical trial

Abstract This study aimed to measure hemolysis before, during and after 60 days of the ground-based spaceflight analog bed rest and the effect of a nutritional intervention through a prospective randomized clinical trial. Twenty male participants were hospitalized for 88 days comprised of 14 days of...

Twenty male participants were hospitalized for 88 days comprised of 14 days of ambulatory baseline, 60 days of 6° head-down tilt bed rest and 14 days of reambulation.

CO elimination increased after 5, 11, 30, and 57 days of bed rest: +289 ppb (95% CI 101–477 ppb; p = 0.004), +253 ppb (78–427 ppb; p = 0.007), +193 ppb (89–298 ppb; p = 0.001) and +858 ppb (670–1046 ppb; p < 0.000), respectively, compared to baseline. Bilirubin increased after 20 and 49 days of bed rest +0.8 mg/l (p = 0.013) and +1.1 mg/l (p = 0.012), respectively; and iron increased after 20 days of bed rest +10.5 µg/dl (p = 0.032). The nutritional intervention did not change CO elimination. THb was lower after 60 days of bed rest −0.9 g/kg (p = 0.001).
