- Summary:
- Strontium (Sr) is one of the most extensively investigated alkaline earth metals and has received much attention for biomedical applications since strontium ranelate was marked as a new orally administered agent for the treatment of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis that reduces the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. In this book, the chemical properties, applications and health effects of strontium are discussed. Topics include the use of strontium in assessing the age of geological materials; the physical, chemical and biological roles of strontium in bone regeneration materials; mammalian oocyte activation with strontium chloride for parthenogenesis, somatic cell nuclear transfer and intracytoplasmic sperm injection; concentration distribution of emerging pollutant strontium in food and environmental samples; and lanthanum strontium manganites for application as cathodes in solid oxide fuel cells.
