Male C57 Black mice (which had been contaminated with 85Sr
3 weeks previously) were fed a dough containing 5% sodium alginate
showed an increased 85Sr content of the blood (Vanderborght
et al., 1971). It was hypothesized that the increased 85Sr
content in blood was due to a shift in Sr-equilibria between
intestinal lumen, blood and the skeleton (Van Barneveld et al.,
1977).
