title: Characterization of radioactivity in plasma after intraduodenal administration of 131I-labelled human cationic trypsin.
abstract: Active human pancreatic cationic trypsin labelled with 131I was administered into the duodenum in nine healthy individuals pretreated with "cold", i.e. non-radioactive iodine. Radioactivity in plasma was measured during 72 hours and was present in plasma after 15 minutes with a maximum 1 hour after administration. The recovered radioactivity in plasma was characterized using dialysis and gel-filtration and the radioactive iodine was found to be in the form of free 131I. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental studies indicating the presence of de-iodinases in the intestine. Furthermore, it was found that pretreatment with "cold" iodine prevented isotope binding to circulating plasma proteins.
