Magnesium Turnover in Man

Description: Data are reviewed from a number of studies on the metabolism of Mg in man and the role of Mg in biological processes. Results are reported from studies using Mg/sup 28/ as a tracer of Mg metabolism in laboratory animals and in man in health and various disease states. It is postulated that the role of Mg in many vital processes may be explained by the fact that the Mg ion tends to form hydrates and double salts and hence has the capacity for complex formation.

Manganese Poisoning--New Insights

Description: Manganese poisoning is discussed as being a clinical model in the study of extrapyramidal disorders. Various technical developments are mentioned which have extended our capabilities for investigating the metabolism of Mn. Some observations are presented on the normal physiology of this element and on some distortions thereof. The high concentration of Mn in malanin granules was noted. These bodies were proposed as possibly reflecting chemical and physical changes underlying some extrapyramidal… more

Colloidal Radioalbumin Aggregates for Organ Scanning

Description: Colloidal aggregates (10 to 20 m mu ) of human serum albumin /sup 131/I may be used safely by intravenous injection to perform photoscans of the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and salivary glands in man. Large particle size suspensions (10 to 50 mu ) of the same material were investigated experimentally in animals for scanning the lungs after intravenous injection and the brain following injection into an internal carotid artery. The advantages of this test material are the relatively low radia… more
