Description

The effect of a single intravenous dose of 0, 50 or 100 mg molybdenum (Mo) as [99Mo] labelled sodium tetrathiomolybdate (Na2MoS4) on the subcellular distribution of copper (Cu) in the liver was studied in three groups of four sheep. The sheep received a 35-mg intravenous dose of Cu 20 h prior, and were killed 24 h after the dosing with mo. Subcellular fractionation of liver homogenates revealed that MoS42- may react with Cu in the nuclear (lysosomal) fraction. (author). 10 refs., 1 tab
