The distribution of uranyl nitrate introduced into the peritoneal cavity of 21 adult rats was measured by counting the beta -rays emitted. Six hours after the injection of 200 mg/kg, the blood contained up to 10% of the total injected. Uranium in the blood then decreased gradually. Uranium deposited in the liver, spleen, muscles, and adrenal glands was approximately parallel to the concentration in the blood. In the kidneys, however, the uranium content increased, reaching up to 9% of the injected dose at 48 hr. At that time the bone showed a uranium uptake of 2% per gram of bone tissue. In the lungs a slightly increased uptake was observed, perhaps due to pulmonary congestion. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 6. 1961)
