Strontium-90 Plasma-levels and Excretions in Young Adults
A study was conducted on Sr90 metabolism in 10 young adult volunteers receiving a constant diet which included 1.1 g Ca/day and 13.4 mu mu c Sr90/day. Fecal excretion of Sr90 averaged 86% of intake, and average net absorption was 14%. Correlations are derived for Sr90 in urine, plasma, stool, and food. It is concluded that stool analyses are superior to urinary assays for determining Sr90/Ca ratios in food and total Sr90 ingested.
