| Description | The distribution of 82Br-bromide in 15 different organs and tissues of rats has been determined at different times after the application of Na82-Br, either by subcutaneous injection or by continuous administration in the drinking water. The whole stomach of rats was the only organ of those investigated that had a large uptake of 82-Br than blood. A remarkably high concentration of 82-Br was found also in the skin. Contrary to some previous findings, the concentration of radiobromide in the thyroid was found not to exceed that in the blood. |
