Metabolic adaptation in the crew of the Hesperides on their Antarctic journey
We studied the metabolic changes that took place in the crew of the Hesperides vessel in their 2001–2002 Antarctic journey, comparing two periods differing in diet and physical activity. Lipid profile, vitamin and hormone levels were analyzed in 17 subjects who completed the study in its two phases....
