Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE1, Chievitz and Hevesy made a provisional communication on the use of radio active indicators in the study of phosphorus metabolism in rats. In a recent paper to the Royal Society of Copenhagen2, a detailed account of these investigations was given. Since 1936, we have been making experiments on phosphorus metabolism in normal, rachitic and treated rats, utilizing also a radioactive phosphorus isotope as an indicator3. Although the detailed figures will be published shortly in the Proceedings of the Royal Academy at Amsterdam, we think a brief review into our experiments may be of general interest.
