A comparison of chromium sesquioxide and [51Cr]chromic chloride as inert markers in calcium balance studies.

چکیده
1. Chromium sesquioxide (Cr2O3; 1.5 g/day) and [51Cr]chromic chloride [51CrCl3 (0.3 muCi/day)] were compared as continuously administered non-absorbed markers for the correction of faecal recoveries in 14 calcium balance studies each lasting at least 18 days. 2. The mean recoveries of each, 98.4% for Cr2O3 and 101.9% for 51CrCl3, were not significantly different from 100%. 3. The two markers reduced the uncertainity in a typical 3 x 6 day calcium balance study to a similar extent (SD = 1.4 mmol/day for Cr2O3 and SD = 1.5 mmol/day for 51CrCl3. 4. 51CrCl3 is a convenient and satisfactorily alternative to Cr2O3 when the laboratory hazards associated with estimating the latter cannot easily be eliminated.

Comparison of radio-opaque pellets and chromium sesquioxide as inert markers in studies requiring accurate faecal collections.
Radio-opaque pellets (ROP) similar to those currently used to measure gastrointestinal transit time have been compared with chromium sesquioxide to assess their suitability for use as inert markers in the gut. Five healthy subjects took both markers with every meal for two separate three week periods while taking metabolically controlled diets. Overall recovery of both markers was satisfactory;...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycol 4000 as a continuously administered non-absorbable faecal marker for metabolic balance studies in human subjects.
The use of polyethylene glycol 4000 as a non-absorbable, continuously fed faecal marker is described. The intestinal handling and transit of polyethylene glycol is compared with that of chromium sesquioxide and barium sulphate. Polyethylene glycol is an acceptable non-absorbable faecal marker for calcium, phosphorus, and fatty acids, and has several features which commend its use in preference ...
متن کاملExretion of chromic oxide administered in paper to steers fed prairie hay.
T H E value of chromic oxide (chromium sesquioxide) as an indicator for estimating fecal output of sheep and cattle is dependent upon its concentration at a given sampling time providing the basis for estimating a standard recovery. However, chromic oxide excretion rate exhibits a diurnal variation (Hardison et al., 1959; Kane, Jacobson and Moore, 1952) which apparently precludes choosing a des...
متن کاملExperience with the chromic oxide method of fecal marking in metabolic balance investigations on humans.
In metabolic balance studies the assessment of the subject's state of balance is derived from estimates of the dietary intake and the excretion in the urine and feces of the constituent under investigation. It is relatively simple to measure the dietary and urinary components, but estimation of the fecal component is more liable to error because of difficulties in secturing a quantitative fecal...
متن کاملIntermittent and continuous faecal markers in short-term metabolic balance studies in young women.
I The continuous faecal marker chromic oxide, Cr,O,, and the intermittent marker brilliant blue were used together in metabolic balance studies of calcium and magnesium in two young women. 2. Faecal output was derived by four methods: no marker, brilliant blue, Cr,Os, or both brilliant blue and Cr,Os. 3. Balances of Ca and Mg derived by the four methods of obtaining faecal output were compared....
