title: Effect of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) on the distribution of manganese-54 in rats.
abstract: The effect of single dose of NTA on the removal of radio-manganese in various organs and in plasma has been studied in rats which received single i.v. injection of 54Mn(II). The lowered value of radio-manganese in NTA treated rats as compared to control animal indicates that NTA binds rapidly and forms stable and diffusible complex resulting in the fast excretion of the injected 54Mn(II).
