STUDY ON RADIOACTIVE CESIUM. EFFECT OF DRUGS ON THE DEPOSITION AND EXCRETION OF RADIOACTIVE CESIUM
Deposition and excretion of radioactive Cs in male rats of the Wistar strain were studied under the influence of DOCA, cortisone, or CsCl as protective drugs or carriers. In rats treated with these drugs the deposition of radioactive Cs in the various ongans was decreased with an increase of the excretion in urine and feces. CsCl was most effective, followed by DOCA given 3 times, contisone and DOCA administered only once. In each group increased excretion of rsdiosctive Cs in the urine occurred immediately after the injection, while that into the feces was observed within a few days. No harmful side effect was recognized sfter the injection of these drugs. Treatment with DOCA, cortisone, or CsCl may be useful in protecting the body from the deposition of radioactive Cs. (auth)
