The fate of intravenously administered radiocalcium and radiostrontium is briefly described. The discrimination by the kidney in favor of strontium is discussed in relation to the rate of urinary calcium excretion. The difference between net and true absorption of calcium is to find the effect of calcium on each of its parameters described. Plasma activity after oral administration of radiostrontium and radiocalcium was found to reach a peak at about 2 hours and the effect of carrier on peak activity is shown. The excretion in the feces and urine of continuously ingested isotope is described and discussed.
