Hormonal responses during seven repetitive flight missions (7RFM) were evaluated on F-4EJ fighter pilots. The following biochemical constituents were measured: 1) cortisol in saliva; 2) 17-OHCS; 3) unbound cortisol; 4) catecholamines in urine; and 5) electrolytes in urine. Samples were collected at about 30 min before the mission, 20 min after each flight, and in a nonflight day for control. The levels of saliva and urine corticosteroids slightly increased during 7RFM when compared with controls. The concentrations of urine catecholamines during 7RFM were significantly higher than those of preflight and control. These data suggest that flight stresses were moderate for the pilots flying 7RFM.
对F-4EJ战斗机飞行员在七次重复飞行任务（7RFM）期间的激素反应进行了评估。测量了以下生化成分：1）唾液中的皮质醇；2）17-羟皮质类固醇；3）游离皮质醇；4）尿中的儿茶酚胺；以及5）尿中的电解质。在任务前约30分钟、每次飞行后20分钟以及非飞行日采集样本作为对照。与对照组相比，7RFM期间唾液和尿皮质类固醇水平略有升高。7RFM期间尿儿茶酚胺浓度显著高于飞行前和对照组。这些数据表明，对于执行7RFM的飞行员来说，飞行压力适中。
