Isotopic Tracer Method for measurement of Iron Lost into and re-absorbed from Gastro-intestinal Bleeding Lesions

IT has been shown 1,2 , with the help of rabbit and sheep erythrocytes labelled with iron-59, that appreciable amounts of iron from hæmoglobin were absorbed when these cells were administered orally to human beings. So far as we know, no information is available on the re-absorption of hæm-attached...

Description
Summary:IT has been shown 1,2 , with the help of rabbit and sheep erythrocytes labelled with iron-59, that appreciable amounts of iron from hæmoglobin were absorbed when these cells were administered orally to human beings. So far as we know, no information is available on the re-absorption of hæm-attached iron from intestinal bleeding lesions. A method for measuring such a re-absorption is here proposed.
