Using a mouse model, an organ distribution for microgels of carboxymethyl cellulose cross-linked with 67Cu2+ ions was investigated and compared with the distribution of free 67Cu2+ ions from 67CuCl2. The clearance of the microgels through both liver and kidneys was demonstrated. An additional examination of distribution for [3H]CMC microparticles and [3H]CMC–Cu microgels revealed no copper release from the microgels in vivo.
