In vivo behaviour of low molecular weight iron complexes

  • Published:
European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The in vivo distribution in mice of ferric citrate, ferric β-glycerophosphate and ferric lactate complexes has been studied. There is a relationship between the59Fe uptake by various tissues and the physicochemical characteristics of the complexes. Ferric lactate seems a useful preparation for iron deficiency therapy.
