  • Methods of distinguishing between glutamine formed by cataplerosis or proteolysis
    Patent number: 9322893
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of distinguishing between glutamine formed by cataplerosis or proteolysis. Sample from a subject may be assayed for deuteriated glutamine (following administration of deuteriated water (2H2O) and an agent that promotes excretion of glutamine from the subject). The methods are useful in clinical settings (e.g. to test whether or not patients are suffering from proteolysis or whether athletes are abusing anabolic drugs); and may be adapted for screening test compounds for cataplerotic or proteolytic activity.
