THE DISTRIBUTION OF CHROMIUM-51 IN MICE AFTER INTRAPERITONEAL INJECTION

Abstract

Sodium radiochromate in tracer amounts was injected intraperitoneally into mice; Cr⁵¹content of various organs was studied and the following points were noted.(i) On a percentage basis, Cr⁵¹distribution was fairly similar for corresponding organs at different time intervals after Cr⁵¹injection.(ii) The Cr⁵¹content of all organs studied was highest within the first hour after intraperitoneal injection.(iii) As the mice increased in age there was a decrease in Cr⁵¹incorporation but there was no great change in Cr⁵¹distribution in the organs studied.
