Abstract
STUDIES of yttrium-binding by bone powder and bone extracts have indicated that the presence of citrate might explain the uptake of yttrium-91 in bone1. The experiments recorded here were undertaken to determine whether the citrate content of tissues could be correlated with uptake of yttrium, and for this purpose the uptake of yttrium in the soft tissue of the rabbit was investigated after giving sodium fluoroacetate to the animal prior to the yttrium.
