Weight loss in men in space.

Men returning from orbital flights have lost from 2 to 6 percent of their body weights. Similar losses occur during simulated weightlessness; blood normally pooled in dependent parts returns to the circulation, increasing central blood volume and causing excretion of water which is not replaced during flight.
