Microgravity has been determined to have a significant impact on liver function in mice after two weeks in space. This experiment will investigate whether microgravity has an immediate impact on the function of catalase enzymes in the liver, which are responsible for the neutralization of hydrogen peroxide toxin in our bloodstream.  Reactants for this experiment will be 1 cc of food-grade, pureed calf liver and 1mL 3% over the counter Hydrogen peroxide.
