THE EFFECT OF EXPERIMENTAL RACHITISM ON THE FIXATION OF RADIOSTRONTIUM IN THE SKELETON. (b) STUDY IN RATS AFFECTED WITH RACHITISM IN THE REMISSION PHASE (in Italian)

Journal Article · · Radiobiol. latina
OSTI ID:4045962

The skeletal fixation of Sr/sup 8//sup 9/ given intraperitoneally to rachitic rats while the malady was in the quiescent phase was studied. The augmentation of development and mineralization of bone in the animals was accompanied by a modest late increase in the quantity of radiostrontium fixed. By comparison with the results obtained in an earlier investigation of rats actively developing rickets, these alterations in bone metabolism did not result in any increase in radiation damage to the hone marrow--on the contrary, the damage was slightly less.
