  DESCRIPTION  This series contains Sargent's studies of 
               physiological processes in animal and human 
               subjects using radioisotopes. Files in this series 
               contain analyses of data, organized by study 
               title, for studies including: subjects injected 
               with thorotrast to evaluate  difference in iron 
               absorption in normal v. iron deficient subjects; 
               bromine as brain  imaging compound in studies 
               involving lab personnel; cesium-137 and cesium-132  
               studies of subjects exposed to fallout; studies of 
               calcium/strontium metabolism in  patients with 
               acromegaly and bone cancer (1964 1969); cobalt 
               studies of subjects  with B12 deficiency v. normal 
               subjects; chromium-51 studies of subjects with 
               diabetes  and hemochromatosis (1970s); zinc 
               studies (unpublished) of mostly normal subjects  
               (mid-1960s); and positron emission tomography 
               (PET) 280 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)  studies of 
               human subjects with schizophrenia. Titles in this 
               series include: Iron Paper,  FDG in Schizophrenia. 
               These files provide a fairly complete overview of 
               the types of  studies done by Sargent during his 
               years at LBL.
