INFLUENCE OF PARATHYROID EXTRACT AND CITRIC ACID ON THE EXCRETION OF Sr$sup 90$ FROM NORMAL RATS, LACTATING RATS, AND RATS SUFFERING CALCIUM OR PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCIES (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4801308
An investigation was conducted on the effects of parathyroid extract and sodium citrate in conjunction with various diets and lactation on the removal of Sr/sup 90/ from rats which were injected with Sr/sup 90/Cl/sup 2/ at least 3 weeks before treatment. No increase in Sr/sup 90/ excretion was observed as a result of treatments with parathyroid extract to rats on a normal diet, rachitogenic diet, calcium-deficient diet, and low-phosphorus diet. Citrate does not increase the rate of Sr/sup 90/ excretion in rats on a normal diet. There are indications that parathyroid extract and citrate may suppress Sr/sup 90/ excretion. Lactation definitely increases Sr/sup 90/ excretion, especially in the latter stages. It is concluded that McLean's theory of parathyroid action is incomplete. (D.L.C.)
