Abstract

A 3-months lasting alginate containing diet can reduce the ²²⁶Ra content of a mouse femur without causing decalcification; the amount of ²²⁶Ra decorporated is independent of the amount in the body-burden within the limits of this experiment. Oral alginate treatment enhances strongly the ²²⁶Ra content of blood and faeces in mice i.p. injected with radium, it does not lower the urinary excretion of ²²⁶Ra.
