- W2026774713 abstract "A study of the effects of immobilization upon various metabolic and physiologic functions of four normal, healthy, young men was carried out on a metabolism ward during control (five to seven weeks), immobilization (six to seven weeks) and recovery (four to six weeks) periods. Throughout the study, dietary intake was kept constant. During the immobilization period the subjects were placed in bi-valved plaster casts extending from the umbilicus to the toes. 1.1. Nitrogen excretion began to increase on the fifth to sixth day of immobilization and reached its peak during the first half of the second week. Total nitrogen losses ranged from 29.8 to 83.6 Gm., and averaged 53.6 Gm. 2.2. Both urinary and fecal calcium excretion increased during immobilization, maximum excretion being reached by the fourth to fifth week. Total calcium losses ranged from 9 to 23.9 Cm. The calcium content of the urine was doubled during immobilization. The absence of appreciable increase in urine volume, the slight rise in urinary pH and the failure of urinary citric acid to rise parallel with the increase in calcium would all favor the precipitation of calcium phosphate in the urinary tract. A slight elevation in serum calcium levels occurred at the end of the immobilization period. 3.3. During immobilization there was an increase in the excretion of phosphorus, total sulfur, sodium and potassium. Total sulfur was excreted in the urine in close correlation from week to week with urinary nitrogen in the ratio in which these elements exist in muscle protoplasm. The changes in phosphorus excretion showed moderately good correlation with the changes in nitrogen and calcium excretion. 4.4. During recovery there was retention of nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and potassium. The recovery or return to control levels of metabolic functions was slow, retention of nitrogen and phosphorus continuing for six weeks. Re-stabilization of calcium metabolism appeared to require more than six weeks. 5.5. Although creatine and creatinine excretion remained fairly constant, there was a definite lowering of creatine tolerance during immobilization. This impairment in creatine metabolism was accompanied by a significant decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength in the immobilized limbs. 6.6. In only one subject was there a significant lowering of 17-ketosteroid excretion during immobilization; this subject also experienced the largest nitrogen losses. 7.7. The decline in basal metabolic rate during immobilization averaged 6.9 per cent among the four subjects. 8.8. Immobilization brought about a deterioration in the mechanisms essential for adequate circulation in the erect position as indicated by an increased tendency to faint in tilt table tests. Experiments indicated that the legs were the principal site of changes responsible for this deterioration and suggested that increased venous engorgement, increased extravascular fluid, capillary fragility and impaired venous or muscle tone play a r&e. 9.9. Other circulaotry changes brought about by immobilization were a decline in total blood volume averaging 5.4 per cent, marked decreases in exercise tolerance as measured by Master and Schneider tests and an increase in the resting pulse rate of 3.8 beats per minute during immobilization, followed by an additional increase of 4.7 beats per minute during the first three weeks of recovery. 10.10. The recovery or return to control levels of most physiologic functions required three to four weeks; exercise tolerance and leg girth required four to six weeks and the reclining pulse rate more than six weeks. 11.11. Changes in body weight during immobilization were small, probably as a result of the simultaneous loss of muscle protoplasm and storage of fat or carbohydrate. 12.12. There were no significant changes due to immobilization in blood coagulation studies, blood circulation time, heart size, electrocardiograms, resting arterial blood pressure, hematocrits, blood counts, vital capacity, maximum ventilation capacity or breath-holding." @default.
