Abstract
Tritium labeled galactosyl ceramide was administered intravenously to three male monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Blood, urine, feces and organs obtained at autopsy were examined for radioactivity after 1 hr, 8 hr and 37 days. The radioactive galactosyl ceramide was taken up by the reticuloendothelial system. Very little radioactivity appeared in brain tissue. The radioactivity was excreted primarily in urine.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
