OSTI ID:4319101

The small intestines of White Leghorn cockerels (200 g.) were perfused - with 0, 1, 5 or 25 mM Ca, Sr or Mg at a rate of 1 ml/min for 100 min. During 25 to 75 min of perfusion, /sup 45/Ca and /sup 89/Sr were added. The birds were sacrificed and the radionuclides in the carcasses.determined. As little as 1 mM Ca, Sr, or Mg reduced /sup 45/Ca and /sup 89/Sr absorption. These radionuclides also decreased when the Ca content of the perfusate increased from 1 to 5 mM. No significant differences were observed in their absorption when Sr or Mg were raised from 1 to 25 mM. Ca reduced /sup 45/Ca and /sup 89/Sr absorption at about the same rate, while Sr and Mg reduced /sup 89/Sr more than /sup 45/Ca. (auth)
