Abstract
The review deals with the changes in the comparative metabolism of calcium and strontium in the course of lactation. Special emphasis is laid upon skeletal accumulation of calcium and strontium during pregnancy, upon the localization of alkaline earth ions in different fractions of the skeleton as well as upon the influence of lactation on the incorporated cations. A survey of calcium and strontium metabolism in the exchangeable and nonexchano cable fraction of bone is presented as dependent upon the duration of lactation and the transfer of these cations from the mother rat into the Fetus and milk. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of radiostrontium mobilization from the bone during lactation as well as to the influence of lactation on the persistence of malignant tumours due to radiostrontium incorporation. The review also deals with relations between the radiostrontium incorporated in the mother's skeleton and its transfer into the young rat during lactation.
