title: In vivo behaviour of low molecular weight iron complexes.
abstract: The in vivo distribution in mice of ferric citrate, ferric beta-glycerophosphate and ferric lactate complexes has been studied. There is a relationship between the 59Fe uptake by various tissues and the physicochemical characteristics of the complexes. Ferric lactate seems a useful preparation for iron deficiency therapy.
