Kinetics of [13C5]-glutamine infusion in plasma. (A) Time course of labeled glutamine in mouse plasma. Mice (n = 4) were infused with [13C5]-glutamine as described in detail in the methods section. Plasma was taken at the indicated times and percentage of [13C5]-glutamine was measured by GC-MS. (B) Glutamine-derived lactate and glucose are negilible. Mice (n = 4) were infused in [13C5]-glutamine for 4 hours. Percentages of labled glutamine, lactate and glucose in plasma are shown.
