Tissue distribution of orally administered bismuth in the rat
Abstract:
1. A colloidal bismuth preparation, tripotassium dicitrato-bismuthate, was given (172 mg/kg body weight, 6/7 days) to 10 laboratory rats for 14 months. Bismuth was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry in various tissues and the pattern of distribution studied. 2. Bismuth was present in kidney lung, spleen, liver, brain, heart and skeletal muscles, in descending order of abundance. Haematological data, renal and liver function tests were normal in the bismuth-treated group. 3. The data suggested that chronic ingestion of bismuth in large doses in rats results in absorption and binding to tissues. Absorbed bismuth probably crosses the blood-brain barrier.

The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
