“…Strontium ion: Equimolar exchange of strontium ion for calcium ion both in vivo and in vitro is well established (155,177,191,198,361). Strontium ion is so similar to calcium ion in its metabolism it has been used clinically to combat osteoporosis (332).…”

“…Through autoradiographic studies it was thus shown by Engstrom and coll. (12) that the activity taken u p in the skeleton during the first hours after an intraperitoneal injection of radioactive strontium into rats almost entirely disappeared during the following five months. Hevesy (15) on the other hand has shown that about one half of the radioactive calcium taken up in the skeleton of mice during the foetal stage through the mother organism, is retained throughout the life of the animal.…”

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.
