TL;DR: Strontium ranelate given to intact rats at doses up to 900 mg/kg/day increases bone resistance, cortical and trabecular bone volume, micro‐architecture, bone mass, and total ALP activity, thus indicating a bone‐forming activity and an improvement of overall bone tissue quality.

TL;DR: The analysis of the interaction of strontium (Sr) with bone mineral is of interest because a new agent containing Sr (S 12911) has shown positive effects on bone mass in various animal models of osteoporosis as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The simultaneous determination of iodine and bromine in plasma and urine by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, using a Nermag prototype instrument, is described, and results are in agreement with reported values.

TL;DR: The transport and uptake of the most common Se compounds were investigated using confluent monolayers of Caco-2 cells, a human carcinoma cell line, and it was indicated that only the organic forms presented a net polarized transport, suggesting the presence of a transcellular pathway.
