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,

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
The current approach to detection of doping with testosterone is based on measuring the testosterone to epitestosterone ratio (T/E) in urine by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The median T/E for healthy males who have not used T is about 1.0. In a single urine, a T/E lower than six leads to a
