The contribution of gluconeogenesis to glucose production can be measured by enriching body water with (H2O)-H-2 to similar to0.5% H-2 and determining the ratio of H-2 that is bound to carbon-5 vs. carbon-2 of blood glucose. This labeling ratio can be measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after the corresponding glucose carbons are converted to formaldehyde and then to hexamethylenetetramine (HMT). We present a technique for integrating ion chromatograms that allows one to use only 0.05% H-2 in body water (i.e., 10 times less than the current dose). This technique takes advantage of the difference in gas chromatographic retention times of naturally labeled HMT and [H-2] HMT. We discuss the advantage(s) of using a low dose of (H2O)-H-2 to quantify the contribution of gluconeogenesis.
