Vitamin B(12) absorption studies: effect of parenteral non-radioactive vitamin B(12) on serum level of (57)Co vitamin B(12)

The intestinal absorption of (57)Co vitamin B(12) has been measured by counting the radioactivity in the serum, and the effect of the parenteral administration of 1 mg. non-radioactive vitamin B(12) two hours after the oral dose has been studied. When parenteral vitamin B(12) was not given, the mean...
