DISTRIBUTION OF Te$sup 127$$,$$sup 129$ IN THE ANIMAL ORGANISM (in Russian)
A study was made of the distribution of Te/sup 127,129/ in the animal organism in intravenous and peroral administration. In intravenous introduction, Te/sup 127,129/ is distributed comparatively uniformly. The highest concentration of tellurium is observed in the lungs and kidneys; it is somewhat lower in the liver, skeleton, and blood; and it is lowest in the brain. Excretion of tellurium from the soft tissues and skeleton is relatively slow. the rate being approximately the same. The highest quantity of tellurium is discharged with the urine. Upon peroral administration 20 to 25% of Te/sup 127,129/ is absorbed from the intestine. In this mode of introduction the highest concentration of tellurium, exceeding that in the liver and skeleton, is found in the kidneys and blood. The largest amount of perorally introduced Te/ sup 127,129/ (70 to 75%) passes out with the feces. During the 16 days of the experiment 15% of active tellurium was discharged with the urine. (auth)
