Bw. Patterson, USE OF STABLE ISOTOPICALLY LABELED TRACERS FOR STUDIES OF METABOLIC KINETICS - AN OVERVIEW, Metabolism, clinical and experimental, 46(3), 1997, pp. 322-329
Stable isotopically labeled tracers offer a reliable and safe alternat
ive to the use of radioactive tracers for studies of metabolic kinetic
s. This overview examines some of the principles and technical issues
regarding mass spectrometry instrumentation, and reviews some of the a
pproaches used in the application of stable isotopically labeled trace
rs to studies of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolic kinetics.
