Abstract
Conclusions
The present study demonstrates that the absolute values for the computer derived parameters of skeletal metabolism obtained with Sr tracer data do not differ significantly from those obtained with Ca. Further, the whole-body turnover of bone-fixed Sr is not significantly different from that of Ca as measured by whole-body counting. The evidence here supports the common assumption that Sr is a reliable tracer of calcium in skeletal metabolism, at least over a 40-day period.
