Abstract
The Na-to-Ca ratio has been determined in femora of normal rats, untre ated diabetic rats and diabetic rats treated with ascorbic acid. The d etermination was based on short-term activation and counting of the Na -24 and Ca-49 activities in the relevant photopeaks. The Na-to-Ca rati os were significantly increased in both treated and untreated diabetic animals as compared to intact controls due to increased Na contents i n the diabetic rats.
