Distribution and retention of indium113m in the organism of pregnant rats.
The distribution and retention of intravenously administered indium (113mInCl3) were determined in pregnant female rats. The highest accumulation of indium was found in the placenta during the last period of pregnancy. Five hours after administration the retention of indium in the placenta was about 38% of the administered dose. In the fetuses of these females the amount of radioactive indium did not exceed 1% of the injected dose. In the last period of pregnancy the placenta is the critical organ for intravenously administered administered indium (InCl3).
