2004 JUN 21 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Scientists have measured glucose production, gluconeogenesis, and hepatic tricarboxylic acid cycle fluxes by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of a single glucose derivative.
According to recent research from the United States, "A triple-tracer method was developed to provide absolute fluxes contributing to endogenous glucose production and hepatic tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle fluxes in 24-hour-fasted rats by [superscript]2H and [superscript]13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of a single glucose derivative.
"A primed, intravenous (3,4-[superscript]13C[subscript]2) glucose infusion was used ...
