INVESTIGATIONS ON THE CALCIUM METABOLISM IN THE EPIPHYSIS AND METAPHYSIS AFTER LOCAL X RADIATION (in German)

Journal Article · · Strahlentherapie (West Germany)
OSTI ID:4263737
The contents of calcium of the proximal epiphysis and metaphysis of the tibia of white rats following local irradiation by 3 different doses was studied by means of Ca/sup 45/. The maximum contents of the isotope was the same in all animals, which excludes a local accumulation in the irradiated area. When the contents of Ca/sup 45/ became lower again a difference between the irradiated and unirradiated bones was observed. The contents of Ca/sup 45/ decreased less the greater the dose of radiation and the bone damage were. No further active calcium uptake was observed. In the skeleton no evidence of a metabolic calcium reaction following irradiation was noted. (auth)
