“Ours results showed that in rats having received either hydroxocobalamin or cobalt chloride, the tissue concentrations of cobalt were greater than those in the control group.”
“The present study documented that in naive rats, the repeated administration of high doses of cobalt as hydroxocobalamin leads to tissue concentrations of the atom of cobalt significantly lower than those induced by equimolar doses of cobalt administered as cobalt chloride (p <0.05).”
“We conclude that hydroxocobalamin reduced the tissue distribution of the cobalt atom in comparison with cobalt chloride.”
