Abstract
The contribution of gluconeogenesis to hepatic glucose production (GP) was quantified after ^2^H~2~O ingestion by Bayesian analysis of the position 2 and 5 ^2^HβNMR signals (H2 and H5) of monoacetone glucose (MAG) derived from urinary acetaminophen glucuronide. Six controls and 10 kidney transplant (KTx) patients with cyclosporine A (CsA) immunosuppressant therapy were studied. Seven KTx patients were lean and euglycemic (BMI = 24.3 Β± 1.0 kg/m^2^; fasting glucose = 4.7 Β± 0.1 mM) while three were obese and hyperglycemic (BMI = 30.5 Β± 0.7 kg/m^2^; fasting glucose = 7.1 Β± 0.5 mM). For the 16 spectra analyzed, the mean coefficient of variation for the gluconeogenesis contribution was 10% Β± 5%. This uncertainty was associated with a mean signalβtoβnoise ratio (SNR) of 79:1 and 45:1 for the MAG H2 and H5 signals, respectively. For control subjects, gluconeogenesis contributed 54% Β± 7% of GP as determined by the mean and standard deviation (SD) of individual Bayesian analyses. For the lean/normoglycemic KTx subjects, the gluconeogenic contribution to GP was 62% Β± 7% (P = 0.06 vs. controls), while hyperglycemic/obese KTx patients had a gluconeogenic contribution of 68% Β± 3% (P < 0.005 vs. controls). These data suggest that in KTx patients, an increased gluconeogenic contribution to GP is strongly associated with obesity and hyperglycemia. Magn Reson Med 60:517β523, 2008. Β© 2008 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Sources of blood glucose can be determined after oral ingestion of ^2^H~2~O followed by isolation of plasma glucose and measurement of the relative ^2^H enrichments in select positions within the glucose molecule. Typically, ^2^H enrichments are obtained by mass spectrometry but ^2^H NM
We present a simple 2 H NMR assay of the fractional contribution of gluconeogenesis to hepatic glucose output following ingestion of 2 H 2 O. The assay is based on the measurement of relative deuterium enrichment in hydrogens 2 and 3 of plasma glucose. Plasma glucose was enzymatically converted to g
A simple (2)H NMR method for quantifying absolute (2)H-enrichments in all seven aliphatic positions of glucose following its derivatization to monoacetone glucose is presented. The method is based on the addition of a small quantity of (2)H-enriched formate to the NMR sample. When the method was app
