Journal of Applied Physiology, 1978•journals.physiology.orgWe have described a technique whereby the time necessary to reach an equilibrium
enrichment of expired CO2 during a primed-constant infusion of [U-13C] glucose was
shortened from 7 to 8 h to 1 hour or less. We applied the theory of the primed-constant
infusion technique to the bicarbonate pool, with the “constant infusion” of labeled carbon
dioxide originating from oxidation of the infused [13C] glucose rather than from a labeled
infusion of bicarbonate.
