The rates (and extent) of appearance of glucose in arterialized plasma from an oral glucose load and from liver (R-aO, R-aH) can be estimated in humans using radioisotopes, but estimates vary among laboratories. We investigated the use of stable isotopes and undertook 22 primed intravenous infusions of D-[6,6(2)H(2)]glucose with an oral load including D-[C-13(6)]glucose in healthy humans. The effective glucose pool volume (Vs) had a lower limit of 230 ml/kg body weight (cf. 130 ml/kg commonly assumed). This Vs in Steele's one-compartment model of glucose kinetics gave a systemic appearance from a 50-g oral glucose load per 70 kg body weight of 96 +/- 51% of that ingested, which compared with a theoretical value of similar to 95%. Mari's two-compartment model gave 100 +/- 3%. The two models gave practically identical R-aO and R-aH at each point in time and a plateau in the cumulative R-aO when absorption was complete. Less than 3% of C-13 was recycled to [C-13(3)]glucose, suggesting that recycling errors were practically negligible in this study. Causes of variation among laboratories are identified. We conclude that stable isotopes provide a reliable and safe alternative to radioactive isotopes in these studies.
