Results obtained have shown that solubility of Pu from the mixed oxide was higher than that of Pu from PuO2. Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed between the three compounds in the corresponding dose coefficients in vivo or in vitro. Therefore, for these particular compounds, variation in the chemical composition of the aerosols had no significant influence on DPUI. Consequently, in vitro, the dissolution test can provide a good estimate of the in vivo behaviour. Studies of variation of % Pu (w/w) from MOx are in progress in our laboratory to confirm these conclusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
