Problems in the interpretation of the in vivo measurement of calcium by the argon-37 method: an investigation of inert-gas elimination in humans.
Abstract
An investigation has been made of some physiological problems associated with the interpretation of in-vivo measurements of calcium by the argon-37 method. Inert-gas elimination in humans over a period of several days was studied using i.v. injections of Xe-133. The results imply that the exhalation rate of A-37 formed in bone will be affected by the individual's composition, in particular body fat. Comparison of calcium measurements between …
