Abstract

241Am(III)-citrate was injected intraperitoneally into rats and Syrian hamsters. Its metabolic behaviour in both species shows some differences: a higher deposition of 241Am in the skeleton and kidneys as well as a longer residence time in the liver of the hamster. Ca-DTPA is more effective in mobilizing 241Am from the rat liver whereas the removal from the kidneys is more pronounced in the hamster. As to the skeletal burden, the chelate was equally effective in both species. The data are discussed from the theoretical point of view.
