Brief Description (Abstract):

Antarctic expeditioners face different extremes of environmental conditions along with social isolation and sexual deprivation, which create a combination of physico-social factors that complicate normal human activity at a polar station. Adaptation in that new condition is always associated with some metabolic changes with alteration in nutritional requirements and utilisation. The present study was undertaken with the aim to assess the changes in appetite regulatory peptides i.e. leptin and neuropeptide Y and to know actual energy intake and expenditure of the Antarctic expeditioners. The study was conducted in three phases viz. Phase I at Goa (basal), Phase II 48h after reaching Antarctica and Phase III after one month of stay at Antarctica. Blood samples were collected in each phase for biochemical estimations. Energy and nutrient intake were analysed from the duplicate plate samples of the expeditioners.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The present study, was undertaken to see the changes in leptin and neuropeptide Y levels in human volunteers at Antarctica and their role in regulation of appetite, food intake and change in body weight and to know the actual energy intake and expenditure of the volunteers at Antarctica.
