title: [57Co-bleomycetin distribution in the body of experimental animals with hyperglycemia].
abstract: Distribution of 57Co-bleomycetin in organs and tissues of rats with experimental short-term hyperglycemia was studied. Hyperglycemia was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 40 per cent glucose solution in doses of 1 to 10.4 g/kg. The labeled antitumor antibiotic was also administered intraperitoneally (0.2-0.8 MBq per animal). The data on both the external radiometry in the area under the animal limb and the radiometry of separate organs and tissues showed that hyperglycemia markedly altered pharmacokinetics of the labeled antibiotic and retarded its elimination. With respect to the lungs it even increased the drug tropism and accumulation. This information may be useful in radionuclide diagnosis and therapy in particular of lung cancer. The time course of glucose concentration in blood was not an adequate criterion of hyperglycemia influence since the influence of hyperglycemia on retarding the drug elimination was also observed when the level of glucose in blood did not differ from the initial one.
