Metabolism of Ca and Sr in late adult life.
Data are presented on the metabolism of Ca and Sr in a healthy male volunteer who, in a series of investigations conducted between the ages of 53 and 82 y, received controlled intakes of 45Ca, 47Ca, or 85Sr. No age-related trends were established, either in factors affecting the skeletal deposition of the tracers or in their subsequent retention studied for up to 462 d after intake. The data thus lend support to an important working postulate in the ICRP's model of alkaline earth metabolism.
