An investigation was made of the effects of orally administered barium sulfate or calcium phosphate on the fecal excretion of strontium-90 administered intraperitoneally to rats. The effect was also studied of the administration of zirconium citrate intraperitoneally half an-hour before the strontium-90 was administered. The possibility of decreasing intestinal absorption of strontium90 using tertiary calcium phosphate was also studied. Data are presented graphically and results are discussed. (C.H.)
