Acetate Turnover Rate as Determined by Two Superimposed Techniques

Abstract
The acetate turnover rates as determined by single injection and constant rate infusion isotope dilution techniques have been compared. Two experiments in which the techniques were super-imposed gave acetate turnover rates 38 and 25% lower, respectively, for the constant rate infusion determination as compared to the single injection determination. The possible causes of these differences are discussed and either technique is considered useful for comparative purposes.
