We present a simple technique for determining the 13C-labeling pattern of glutamate by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Glutamate is derivatized with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (Methyl-8R). The dimethylaminomethylene methyl ester derivative of glutamate yields fragment ions that allow ca

We present gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric and gas chromatographic/isotope ratio mass spectrometric assays of the 13C enrichment of plasma urea converted to its dimethylaminomethylene derivative. The limits of sensitivity of the two techniques are 0.2% and 0.02%, respectively. The techniques
Glutamine is an essential fuel for tissues with high rates of cell replication, such as enterocytes and lymphocytes. Infusion of 13C-labeled glutamine tracers allows for measurement of the rates of production, utilization and oxidation of glutamineΓs carbon skeleton in vivo. The use of this tracer,
The 13C mass isotopomer distribution of liver phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) yields important information on the regulation of gluconeogenesis and the citric acid cycle. A convenient technique is presented for measuring the mass isotopomer distribution of PEP in tissue extracts. The procedure involves re
