Abstract:
During the last decades several new techniques have been developed for measuring the utilization of nutrients in humans. The development and potential use of techniques with stable isotopes are discussed. Examples of the different studies are presented for determining whole body aminoacid and protein dynamics like lipids and glucose metabolism in humans. The practical use of these diverse stable isotopically labeled biochemicals provide safe, ethical, noninvasive investigation of nutritional metabolism in humans.
