Some parameters of the protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism were examined in men who worked in a nitrogenoxygen atmosphere at 5 ata. Three series of 15-18 day experiments were carried out on two test subjects in each. The test subjects were kept on a well balanced diet. In the first experimental series no additional vitamins were given. In the second and third experimental series the test subjects were given an Undevit vitamin complex. Test subjects of the first group showed changes in nitrogen metabolism and an increased content of sugars in blood. Test subjects of the second and third groups displayed minor, if any, changes of that kind. After the experiments the parameters returned to the normal within different periods of time.
