Applications of Stable Isotopes to Pediatric Nutrition and Gastroenterology

Peter D. Klein,
E. Roseland Klein

Abstract: The naturally occurring, nonradioactive, stable isotopes, 2H, 15N, 18O, and in particular, 13C, are valuable tracers in studies of pediatric nutrition and gas‐troenterology. Techniques using these isotopes have been developed for the measurement of digestion, absorption, utilization, and excretion of nutrients in premature and term infants, as well as in young children. Compounds labeled with 13C enable quantitative measurements of nutrient oxidation rates and percent nutrient malabsorption. Illustrations of t… Show more
