99mTc(Cu)-mannitol complex: a new agent for dynamic renal function studies.

Mannitol has been labeled with 99mTc by using cuprous chloride as a reducing agent. Blood and kidney clearance of 99mTc(Cu)-mannitol was slightly faster than that of 99mTc(Sn)-DPTA in rat and maximum radioactivity ratio of kidneys to blood was 84.6 at 5 min. A comparative study of 99mTc(Cu)-mannitol, 99mTc(Sn)-DTPA was made in rabbits by taking serial images of kidneys and bladder with a gamma camera. Results show superiority of 99mTc(Cu)-mannitol over other agents for dynamic renal function studies.

Protection to testicular activity by a combination of 5-hydroxy L-tryptophan with a thiol compound in whole body gamma irradiated rats.

Radiation induced changes in testicular activity were studied by estimating sialic acid content in plasma and testis and 17-ketosteroids in 24 hr urine samples of male Sprague Dawley rats following 8 Gy whole body gamma ray exposure with and without pretreatment with 2-aminoethylisothiuronium bromide hydrobromide (AET) or with a combination of 5-hydroxy L-tryptophan (5-HTP) and AET. Combination of 5-HTP with AET or AET alone in optimum radioprotecting dose has significantly modified the radiation damage to the testis.
