Metabolic profiling of urinary organic acids from patients with juvenile‐onset (Type 1) diabetes mellitus have revealed significantly elevated levels of 2‐hydroxybutyric acids. To test the hypothesis that these metabolites, as well as 4‐deoxyerythronic acid, are derived from L‐threonine, stable isotope‐labeled threonine was infused into an insulin‐deficient dog and the incorporation of13C into these metabolites was monitored by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Electron ionization was relatively insensitive, but positive chemical ionization with ammonia as the reactant gas gave both protonated molecules and [M+NH4]+ions, which could be analysed by selected ion monitoring. The isotope‐labeled species of 2‐hydroxybutyric, 4‐deoxyerythronic and 4‐deoxythreonic acids were observed, but13C was not incorporated into other organic acids. Thus, it is proposed that L‐threonine is a precursor of these metabolites.
