Radiotoxicity of Injected SR89 for Rats, Mice, and Rabbits. Part II. Metabolism and Organ Distribution

Mice, rats and rabbits excreted Sr89-Sr90 very rapidly following intraperitoneal or intravenous administration. The greatest part of the excretion took place during the first three days, and by 10-15 days virtually no more of the retained strontium was excreted.
