Absorption of colloidal Au198 from peritoneum and pleura and its inhibition by polyphloretin phosphate

Abstract
The absorption of colloidal Au198 from the pleura and peritoneum into the blood was studied in autoradiographs from whole-body sections of mice and by measurements of blood and liver activity in rabbits. The effect upon the colloid absorption of the direct injection of polyphloretin phosphate into these cavities 24 hours before the injection of gold, was investigated. The absorption of the colloid was reduced in this way to between 10 and 20% of the corresponding absorption in untreated controls.
