A STUDY OF STRONTIUM, CALCIUM, AND RARE EARTHS METABOLISM IN HUMANS. Annual Report for December 1, 1959 to November 30, 1960. Application for the continuation of work for December 1, 1960 to November 30, 1961
Studies on Sr/sup 85/ Metabolism in Man. Induced enhancement of Sr/sup 85/ excretion was studied with respect to removal of Sr/sup 85/ in late phase, effects of chelating agents, and effects of stable strontium on Sr/sup 85/ excretion. Total-body external counting of Sr/sup 85/ was also carried out. Studies of Sr/sup 90/ Metabolism in Man. Data from a study of 10 normal, healthy young people and one older person, under controlled dietary oonditions, are tabulated. Studies Carried Out with Rare Earths. In humans, studies were made of radioscandium excretion, plasma levels of Sc/sup 46/, and Sc/sup 46/ removal. Metabolism of lanthanum and yttrium in mice was studied. Other studies included effects of excess chelating agents on rare-earth removal, in vitro studies with scandium, absorption of C/sup 14/-labeled chelation agents. and Cs/sup 137/ distribution and excretion.
