Abstract
Summary
Magnesium is effective in increasing the elimination of Sr-89 by rats which had been given the isotope either one or 30 days before treatment. It is effective when given orally or parenterally. Oral administration of magnesium decreases fecal Sr-89; however, the sum of urinary and fecal Sr-89 is significantly greater than those of control animals. Supplementation of magnesium with citrate ions or Prednisolone was no more effective than magnesium alone.
