The effects of induced lathyrism on Sr85 uptake in rats during late prenatal development.
During the last one-third of their gestational period, lathyritic rats incorporate significantly lower amounts of Sr85 as revealed by whole body counting techniques. This difference was maximum at term. The study provides evidence for lathyritic disturbance in the initial phases of mineralization of hard tissue matrices.
