Usage

Description

L-Methionine-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled amino acid, where the carbon atom at the first position is replaced with the non-radioactive isotope carbon-13. This modification allows for the tracking and analysis of metabolic processes involving methionine in the body.

Uses

Used in Medical Diagnostics:
L-Methionine-1-13C is used as a diagnostic tool for assessing hepatic regeneration. The L-Methionine-1-13C breath test provides a non-invasive method to evaluate liver function and the ability of the liver to regenerate after injury or disease. This test is particularly useful in monitoring the progress of liver recovery and the effectiveness of treatments.
