Abstract
SUMMARY: 1. The retention of a dose of stable strontium given intraperitoneally to rats has been measured after 24 hr. 2. When the total retention is expressed in terms of the amount in the plasma, it provides an estimate of the rate of bone formation. 3. The strontium retention is a function of the age of the rat, but is independent of the sex.Keywords
