Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS)
following on-line combustion (C) of compounds separated by gas chromatography (GC) is a …

The isotopic composition, for example, 14C/12C, 13C/12C, 2H/1H, 15N/14N and 18O/16O,
of the elements of matter is heterogeneous. It is ruled by physical, chemical and biological …

Stable isotope analysis has been utilized in archaeology since the 1970s, yet standardized
protocols for terminology, sampling, pretreatment evaluation, calibration, quality assurance …

Smoking causes multiple organ dysfunction. The effect of smoking on skeletal muscle
protein metabolism is unknown. We hypothesized that the rate of skeletal muscle protein …

Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of fatty acids is a relatively young analytical
method. However, CSIA of fatty acids has increasingly become the method of choice in …

In many animals the rate of protein synthesis is higher in slow‐twitch, oxidative than fast‐
twitch, glycolytic muscles. To discover if muscles in the human body also show such …
