The effects were studied in eight male subjects. Flights were performed as outgoing and return flight between Frankfurt and Chicago with a time shift of 6 hrs and a stopover time of 26 hrs. The results showed distinct excretion patterns in all studied functions on day 1 and 2. The diurnal rhythm of the 17-hydroxycorticosteroids showed marked time shift effects on day 1 after return. These changes and their operational significance for the flying personnel are discussed. (Author)
