[Fecal and urinary elimination of bismuth after parenteral administration. (author's transl)]

The authors compare urinary and fecal elimination of intra-muscularly administered bismuth in rats during short term and long term experiments. The fecal elimination seems to be equally important as the urinary one. They also study distribution of bismuth among different organs. The excretion by digestive tractus is mainly located in ileum ans caecum. The biliary excretion of bismuth has an apparent maximum transport. The authors check some of their results in man.
