The aim of this study was to investigate whether supplementation with vitamins C (vitC) and E (vitE), selenium (Se) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may protect against OS induced by simulated spaceflight conditions using ground-based analogues such as hypobaric hypoxia (HH), hypergravity (HG) or microgravity (MG). The experiments were performed on healthy volunteers who were exposed twice during two separate days to HH (Hypoxico® chamber; FiO2 = ~12%, PaO2 = ~50 mmHg), HG (human centrifuge; +2 g), or MG (clinostat). The subjects were randomized into four groups: control—no supplementation; vitC—oral administration of vitC (1000 mg/day); vitE—oral administration of vitE (400 IU/day); vitC+vitE—oral administration of both vitamins; Se+CoQ10—oral administration of Se (200 µg/day) + CoQ10 (30 mg/day). We found that HH significantly increased plasma malondialdehyde levels compared to control conditions [median = +16% (+8–23%)], whereas vitC+vitE supplementation significantly reduced plasma MDA levels [median = −14% (−19–0%)]. In addition, we observed that HG induced an increase in plasma levels of protein carbonyls [median = +27% (+9–39%)] compared to control conditions; however, no supplementation prevented this increase. Finally, we observed that MG increased urine levels of F2-isoprostanes [median = +24% (+13–36%)] compared to control conditions; however no supplementation reduced this increase either. 9: ## 1. Introduction 10: Space exploration has gained increasing popularity over recent years due to its potential benefits for humanity [[1]]. However, it also poses significant challenges related to health [[2], [3], [4]]. Various studies have indicated that space travel can cause significant physiological changes in astronauts’ bodies [[5], [6], [7]]. One of these changes is oxidative stress (OS), which results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses [[8]]. The production of ROS during spaceflight is primarily attributed to exposure to ionizing radiation [[9]] as well as other factors such as microgravity [[10]], hypergravity [[11]], artificial lighting [[12]], isolation [[13]], limited food intake [[14]], increased carbon dioxide levels [[15]], limited exercise options [[16]] or psychological stress [[17]]. 11: Previous studies have suggested that OS induced by spaceflight conditions may contribute to various health issues experienced by astronauts during missions including muscle atrophy [[18], [19]], bone loss [[20]], cardiovascular disease [[21], [22]] cognitive decline [[23], [24]] immune system dysfunction [[25], [26]], cancer development [[27], [28]] or accelerated aging processes [[29], [30]]. Therefore it is crucial to find effective strategies for preventing or reducing OS associated with space travel. 12: One possible strategy involves supplementation with antioxidants such as vitamins C (vitC) or E (vitE), selenium (Se), or coenzyme Q_{10} (CoQ_{10}). Vitamins C and E are potent antioxidants that scavenge free radicals generated during oxidative stress while selenium is an essential trace element involved in maintaining antioxidant enzyme activity such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx) which protects cells against lipid peroxidation caused by ROS accumulation [[31]]. CoQ_{10} also acts as an antioxidant by protecting membranes from lipid peroxidation while also participating in mitochondrial electron transport chain reactions necessary for ATP production required for cell survival under stressful conditions including those experienced during spaceflight missions. 13: Several ground-based analogues have been developed that simulate some aspects of spaceflight conditions including hypobaric hypoxia chambers which expose subjects to low atmospheric pressure environments similar those experienced at high altitudes above sea level where oxygen availability decreases significantly leading to hypoxemia-induced OS; human centrifuges which generate hypergravity forces comparable those experienced during reentry maneuvers performed upon return from orbiting satellites; clinostats which simulate microgravity conditions experienced during long-duration missions aboard orbiting spacecrafts. 14: In this study we aimed at investigating whether supplementation with vitamins C/E/Se/CoQ_{10} could protect against OS induced by simulated spaceflight conditions using ground-based analogues such as hypobaric hypoxia chambers or human centrifuges simulating hypergravity forces experienced during reentry maneuvers upon return from orbiting satellites; clinostats simulating microgravity experienced during long-duration missions aboard orbiting spacecrafts. 15: ## 2. Results 16: ### Baseline Characteristics 17: We included thirty-three healthy male volunteers aged between twenty-two and thirty-six years old (*n* = CC = *n* = vitC = *n* = vitE = *n* = vitC+vitE = *n* = Se+CoQ_{10} = seven). All volunteers were non-smokers without any chronic diseases or medications use. 18: ### Effects on Oxidative Stress Induced by Hypobaric Hypoxia 19: Plasma levels of malondialdehyde were significantly higher after HH exposure compared with control conditions (*p* = 0.014) but there were no significant differences between individual groups (*p* > 0.05). However when comparing individual groups only one significant difference was observed (*p* = 0.024) between CC group after HH exposure compared with vitC+vitE group after HH exposure indicating that combined supplementation with both vitamins could reduce OS induced by HH exposure (**Figure** 1A). 20: Urine levels of F_2 -isoprostanes were not affected by HH exposure (*p* > 0.05) (**Figure** 1B). 21: ### Effects on Oxidative Stress Induced by Hypergravity 22: Plasma levels of protein carbonyls were significantly higher after HG exposure compared with control conditions (*p* = 0.015). However when comparing individual groups only one significant difference was observed (*p* = 0.042) between CC group after HG exposure compared with Se+CoQ_{10} group after HG exposure indicating that combined supplementation could reduce OS induced by HG exposure (**Figure** 2A). 23: Urine levels of F_2 -isoprostanes were not affected by HG exposure (*p* > 0.05) (**Figure** 2B). 24: ### Effects on Oxidative Stress Induced by Microgravity 25: Urine levels of F_2 -isoprostanes were significantly higher after MG exposure compared with control conditions (*p* = 0.005). However when comparing individual groups no significant differences were observed (*p* > 0.05) indicating that none of supplements could reduce OS induced by MG exposure (**Figure** 3). 26: ## Discussion 27: In our study we investigated whether supplementation with vitamins C/E/Se/CoQ_{10} could protect against OS induced by simulated spaceflight conditions using ground-based analogues such as hypobaric hypoxia chambers or human centrifuges simulating hypergravity forces experienced during reentry maneuvers upon return from orbiting satellites; clinostats simulating microgravity experienced during long-duration missions aboard orbiting spacecrafts. 28: We found that plasma levels of MDA—a marker associated primarily with lipid peroxidation—were significantly increased after HH exposure indicating enhanced OS under these experimental conditions which are known induce oxidative damage due decreased availability oxygen resulting from reduced atmospheric pressure causing hypoxemia-induced OS [[32]]. Interestingly when comparing individual groups we observed one significant difference between CC group after HH exposure compared with vitC+vitE group after HH exposure indicating that combined supplementation could reduce OS induced by HH exposure despite lack statistical significance among all groups. 29: Our findings are consistent with previous studies demonstrating protective effects against OS induced by hypoxia using animal models supplemented either orally or intraperitoneally prior experimental procedures resulting in decreased levels various oxidative stress markers including lipid peroxidation products MDA among others suggesting potential beneficial role antioxidants during simulated spaceflight exposures characterized reduced oxygen availability causing hypoxemia-induced OS [[33], [34]]. 30: However urine levels F_2 -isoprostanes—a marker associated primarily with lipid peroxidation—were not affected by HH indicating no changes occurred under these experimental conditions despite enhanced plasma MDA levels suggesting different mechanisms underlying oxidative damage occurring under simulated spaceflight exposures characterized reduced atmospheric pressures resulting hypoxemia-induced OS compared those involving altered gravitational forces either hyper- or microgravity experienced astronauts returning orbiting satellites undergoing reentry
