Abstract
Distribution of radioactivity in various tissues of the rat after intraperitoneal administration of glucosamine-1-C-14 has been studied. Highest levels of radioactivity were found in kidney, liver, spleen, lung, brain, digestive system, and blood serum. Appreciable radioactivity was found in other tissues. The utility of glucosamine-l-C-14 as a means of studying glycoprotein and mucopolysaccaride metabolism is indicated.Keywords
