Curves showthe bodyspecific activity B, the plasma specific activity S, the specific activity of cortical bone V,, and the specific activity of trabecular bone V7 as given by the model. The parameter values are chosen foapproximate the behavior of radium in normal adult man: b = 0.5, e = 0.18 day, 7k = 7 g calcium per day, « = 4 (theratio of TENTIALgtheturnover rates of trabecular and cortical bone), 7 = 0.2 (the fraction of trabecular bone in the skeleton), and c = 1000 g calcium SITION-2 (body caleium). The given values of b, e, and y& lead to the prediction that the final exponential rate will be 1%/year (assuming &ce-invariance and no long-term discrimination), and this rate has been taken as the turnover rate of cortical bone by apposition- Te-orption, Note that the areas underall four curves from time zero to time infinity are equal to each other and equal to ¢/nk,where ry longe¢ is the aetivity injected (100° dose) and yk is the excretory plasma clearance in grams of calcium per day.
