Catalog Item
Body composition using 2H-labeled water
Common Name(s): Body Composition

CenterCase Western Reserve University
Center CoreMetabolic Core
Test No.CA2000
Test Price$35.00/ sample
DescriptionThe body is composed of 2 major compartments, fat and fat-free mass. Fat-free
mass consists of water, inorganic matter (e.g. minerals) and organic matter
(e.g. protein, DNA). One can determine total body water via the initial dilution
of 2H-labeled water. Fat mass can be calculated assuming a constant relationship
between water and inorganic and organic matter in fat-free mass.

This test requires a single injection of 2H-labeled water and the collection of
1 blood sample 2.5 hours post-injection.

Note: This test does not require catheterized mice, nor does it require that
mice be shipped to the MMPC. The isotopes are non-radioactive and no special
safety precautions are required, the tracers will be shipped from the MMPC to
the investigator. Investigators will be instructed on how to administer the
isotopes, collect samples and then ship them back to the MMPC.
