Metabolic Research

CIL offers the most complete listing of stable isotopically labeled metabolic substrates available. These metabolic substrates are labeled with 13C, 15N, 18O, D, as well as other stable isotopes. Some of the many applications for these materials include the utilization of amino acids for protein turnover studies, carbohydrates for glucose metabolism studies, and fatty acids for lipolysis research. Stable isotope labeling of these materials allows investigators to study metabolic pathways in living systems in a manner which is safe, accurate and noninvasive.
