Larsen BA, Bidwell RGS, Hawkins WW. The effect of ingestion of disodium ethylenediamine-tetraacetate on the absorption and metabolism of radioactive iron by the rat. Can. J Biochem. and Physiol. 1960; 38:51-55. (CA54:4923i) [Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) was fed to young adult rats at a level of 0.% of the diet. The effect on absorption, metabolism, and excretion of dietary Fe was studied after administration of radioactive FeCl3 by stomach tube. The presence of EDTA decreased the absorption of Fe and increased the excretion in urine. When EDTA was not fed until after the Fe50 had been absorbed, the Fe appeared to be increased in the blood and the spleen, and to be removed from the liver.]
