Biodistribution of trace elements in normal, aluminum-overloaded and cadmium-overloaded mice. An application of the radioactive multitracer technique.

The radioactive multitracer technique was applied to simultaneous evaluation of biobehavior of many trace elements in normal, Al-overloaded and Cd-overloaded mice. The tissue and subcellular distributions of Be, Sc, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Ru, and Rh were examined by using a multitracer solution, prepared from an Ag target irradiated with heavy ions, in 9 organs (brain, cardiac muscle, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, skeletal muscle, and bone) and blood. Their tissue and subcellular distributions were evaluated by gamma-ray spectrometry in terms of tissue uptake rate (the radioactivity percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue, percent of dose/g) and fractionation percentage (the radioactivity percentage of nuclear fraction, mitochondrial fraction, microsomal fraction or supernatant fraction, percent), respectively. Comparative biobehavior of these elements in brain and liver is reported. Aluminium- and Cd-induced synergistic interactions were observed among these trace elements in their liver uptake behavior.

Unique behavior of rubidium in mice under low oxygen atmosphere. Simultaneous tracing of Sc, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Y, and Zr using off radioactive multitracer technique.

Relative tissue distributions of Sc, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Se, Rb, Y, and Zr tracers were studied in young mice housed under four different O2 atmospheres (10 percent, 20 percent, 80 percent, and 100 percent O2) using the radioactive multitracer technique developed at The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN). At 48 hr after injection of the multitracer, the tissue uptake rates were examined for 10 tissues (brain, cardiac muscle, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, skeletal muscle, bone, and blood) and expressed as the radioactivity percentage of the injected dose per gram of wet tissue (percent dose/g). Rubidium uptake rates for all soft tissues of mice housed under a 10 percent O2 atmosphere were found to be higher than those of the tissues of mice housed under the other three O2 atmospheres (20 percent, 80 percent, and 100 percent), but no difference was observed for the other elements (Sc, Mn, Fe, Co, Se, etc.) under any of the O2 atmospheres.
