Summary

Studies on the metabolism of Sr/sup 85/ in man were continued under strictly controlled dietary conditions. Data are included on the enhancement of radiostrontium excretion; the comparative effect of stable strontium and of stable calcium on radiostrontium excretion; the effects of changes in the calcium to phosphorus ratio on strontium uptake; and the effect of prolonged high calcium intake on the uptake of Sr/sup 85/ in man. Studies on Sr/sup 90/ metabolism were carried out in 10 normal, healthy young persons under controlled dietary conditions. Data are tabulated. Results are included from studies on the tissue distribution and excretion of radioisotopes of scandium, yttrium, and samarium administered in ionic and chelated form to mice; the absorption of Ca/sup 14/ labeled chelating agents in man; and the tissue distribution and excretion of Cs/ sup 137/ in mice and man.
