Plasma Concentration and Excretion of Calcium-47, Strontium-85, Barium-133 and Radium-223 following Successive Intravenous Doses to a Healthy Man

Nature volume 209, pages 526–527 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

SEVERAL investigations have been made of the turnover of radioactive calcium and strontium in man. Qualitatively their metabolism is similar, as is to be expected from their close chemical relationship, but quantitative data reveal biological discriminations which occur in certain organs. Corresponding similarities and discriminations in the turnover of barium and radium have been investigated, but experimental data refer almost entirely to laboratory animals.
