The gastrointestinal absorption of Am-241 was studied in relation to t
he amount of sodium citrate administered with it. Fasted Wistar strain
female rats received Am-241 orally in sodium citrate solution of vari
ous concentrations and 5 days after administration animals were sacrif
iced and the retention and distribution of Am-241 was studied. The res
ults indicated that the f1 value was very high at about 10% of adminis
tered activity when Am-241 was given to fasted rats with a large amoun
t of sodium citrate.
