LSD: The distribution of [3H]LSD in the reproductive system of the male rat and placental transfer in the female rat

Summary After administration of [³H]LSD to male rats, radioactivity was present in all tissues of the reproductive system, notably associated with spermatozoa in the epididymis. In addition, in pregnant rats LSD and/or metabolites readily crossed the placental barrier.     

Possibility of using131I-albumin as a marker for the estimations of microbial protein synthesis rates in the rumen

Summary Total microbial protein synthesis rates in the rumen of buffaloes were estimated by isotope dilution technique, using¹³¹I-albumin treated with tannic acid as a marker. The animals were fed groundnut cake treated with formaldehyde to meet 50% of their digestible crude protein (DCP) requirement and 2.5% urea molasses mixture was given to meet the remaining requirement of DCP. Wheat straw was fed as the basal roughage. The total average microbial protein synthesis was 58.14 g/day.
