Review

"...is supported by a wealth of illustrations, tables, and exemplary calculations that will aid in comprehension...[an] excellent and much needed textbook." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2007)

"...should be required for anyone who desires to know more about metabolic tracer kinetics." (Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, September 2005)

"...an effective integration of theory and practical implementation...It effectively serves as a teaching textbook as well as a research item." (E-STREAMS, August 2005)

From the Author

The goal of this book is to provide the researcher a solid theoretical base in tracer kinetics as applied to physiological metabolism. The book is a revised edition of “Radioactive and Stable Isotope Tracers in Biomedicine: Principles and Practice of Kinetic Analysis”. This revision incorporates new information and techniques that have been developed over the past decade. Also, chapters have been revised in order to facilitate teaching and learning. Abundant numerical examples now appear throughout the text.
