چکیده

The availability of radioactive isotopes of iron led to the development of reliable methods of studying iron kinetics (1), but the absorption of iron by the gastrointestinal tract was still determined indirectly by the amount of unabsorbed iron excreted in the stools or by quantification of isotopic iron incorporated into hemoglobin (2-7). The availability of a whole-body counter in a clinical facility has made possible the direct assay of iron59 retention in human subjects and has eliminated sample collecting and preparation. The purpose of this paper is to describe this method and demonstrate some of the findings.

Measurement of Strontium-90 in the Persian Gulf Fish by Extraction Chromatography with Sr-resin and Liquid Scintillation Counter

Background: Despite its beneficial effects on human life, the nuclear industry has its own risks. Strontium 90 (90Sr) is one of the most dangerous radionuclides produced by the uranium 235 fission, and replaces the bone calcium in the human body, which causes cancer. Ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities to protect employees, people and the environment is among the main goals of nuclear saf...

Transferrin and the Absorption of Iron

Mongrel dogs, of 9 to 20 Kg. with hematocrits of 42 or more, were selected for the study. After an overnight fast they were anesthetized with pentobarbital. The duodenum was brought out through an abdominal incision and a segment varying from 10 to 20 Cm. was isolated from the proximal and distal bowel with clamps. The dog was heparinized with 50 mg. of sodium heparin. The mesenteric vein drain...

Comparison of stable isotopes and radioisotopes in the measurement of iron absorption in healthy women.

1. Stable isotope methods are being used to investigate the absorption of dietary iron. In order to be certain that this new methodology is accurate, we have compared results obtained using stable isotopes and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with those determined using a radioisotope and whole body counting. 2. The stable isotope 54Fe (2.8 mg) was given to 10 healthy non-pregnant w...

Determination of chemical and radiochemical purity of [14C] clozapine by high performance liquid chromatography and liquid scintillation [Persian]

Introduction: The mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. The effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. To further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14C] clozapine with suita...
