Abstract
Laboratory and clinical findings related to the oral tissues of three astronauts during a 56-day simulated Skylab mission are described. Changes in the oral counts of specific microorganisms were observed concurrently with alterations in saliva flow rates and levels of secretory IgA and salivary lysozyme.Keywords
