Abstract
In the present preliminary communication we wanted to find out whether the way of application of radioactive calcium influences the determination of the index of mineralization rate ar. The index of mineralization rate in the forearm was determined in 13 subjects, of whom 5 received radioactive calcium intravenously and 8 orally. The results obtained in the two groups were compared with the mineralization rate in the forearm calculated on the basis of radioactive strontium (85Sr), which was administered in the same experiment intravenously. A statistical evaluation of the results showed that there exists no significant difference concerning the index of mineralization rate obtained with either way of isotope application. Besides there is a tendency to obtain lower values with 85Sr compared to those obtained with 47Ca.
