Whole-body protein turnover in peritoneal dialysis patients: A comparison of the [15N]glycine end product and the [13C]leucine precursor methods

Description : Background. Two well-described methods for measuring whole-body protein turnover (WBPT) are the precursor method using a primed continuous infusion of [1-13C]leucine and the end-product method with a single oral dose of [15N]glycine. We previously measured the effects of amino acid (AA)-containing d...
