| Abstract |
A study of the absorption and metabolism of various commercially available tritium-containing luminous compounds in the mammalian organism. Each compound was administered cutaneously to rats and gastrointestinally to cats. The absorption of the individual compounds via the cutaneous route varied from 0.10 to 8.83%, and from 0.67 to 21.55% via the gastrointestinal route. The data show a positive correlation between the relative absorptions of each compound through both routes. Tritium activity was eliminated in 2 components, a rapid one and a slower one. |
