Some topics discussed are as follows: rate of /sup 14/CO/sub 2/ production in animals after injection of /sup 14/C-labeled substrate; use of /sup 14/C-tripalmitin as a screening test for fat malabsorption; use of /sup 14/C-dimethylaminopyrine to measure the maximal rate of demethylation in experimental animals; studies on dynamic state of biological molecules using deuterium and /sup 15/N; diagnosis of pancreatic insufficiency using the /sup 13/C-trioctanoin malabsorption test; and factors influencing /sup 13/CO/sub 2///sup 12/CO/sub 2/ ratio in breath.
