Measurement of proliferation and disappearance of rapid turnover cell populations in human studies using deuterium-labeled glucose.
Cell proliferation may be measured in vivo by quantifying DNA synthesis with isotopically labeled deoxyribonucleotide precursors. Deuterium-labeled glucose is one such precursor which, because it achieves high levels of enrichment for a short period, is well suited to the study of rapidly dividing c...
