Abstract
Studies of ammonia, amino acid, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism have relied primarily on the use of 15N, 14C, 13C, and 3H-labeled compounds. However, tissue sampling and analysis of enriched metabolites, i.e., 15N and 13C by mass spectrometry [1] and NMR [2–4], and 14C and 3H by liquid scintillation counting, limit the application of these techniques for the noninvasive determination of in vivo tissue tracer kinetics.
