METABOLISM OF RUTHENIUM IN THE RAT

Abstract

Seventeen Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intramuscularly and intraperitoneally with ruthenium-106. The amount of this isotope was determined daily for 5 weeks in the urine and feces. Animals were sacrificed at intervals and the various organs were analyzed for ruthenium. It was noted from this experiment that the pathways of absorption, metabolism, and excretion are dependent on the route of administration of ruthenium. (Author)
