THE METABOLISM OF TITANIUM AND OTHER ELEMENTS IN WISTER RATS
The concentrations of Ti and Ca, P, K, Fe, Cu and Zn in blood samples were determined by PIXE after a single intravenous and a single oral dosing with titanium- ascorbate (Ti- Vc) in Wister rats. Following the intravenous injection with 50 mg Ti- Vc/kg body weight, the absorption, distribution and clearance in blood could be described by an exponential equation of three terms. After gavaged with 500 mg Ti- Vc/kg body weight, at 1.5 h the content of Ti reached the highest level. The concentration of Ca was increasing with the absorption, distribution and clearance of Ti in blood. The contents of Fe and K were decreasing. And the contents of Cu and Zn were significantly fluctuating. The effect of Ti on animal growth could be explained by the fact that Ti- Vc supplementation could promote the absorption of Ca.
