Description: As a possible predictive test for screening Space Shuttle passengers, the secretions of the pituitary adrenal system and the adrenal medulla have been studied in conjunction with exposure to gravitational acceleration three times the normal level. The 12 female subjects in the test were divided into ambulatory and bedrest groups. Before bedrest, a high tolerance to centrifugation appeared to be linked to increases in plasma ACTH and cortisol. This relationship did not hold after bedrest. The correlation between tolerance to centrifugation and 24-hour urinary epinephrine-to-norepinephrine ratios was not significant.
