title: [New techniques for investigation of human nutrition].
abstract: Accurate determination of energy requirement and nutrients metabolism is essential to improve physiological knowledge and for physiopathological purpose in human nutrition. This evaluation is an absolute necessity for food industry. Energy expenditure could be precisely determined by indirect calorimetry or doubly labeled water technic. Nutrients metabolism (kinetics?) and substrates turn-over studies are now accessible without health hazard using tracers labelled with stable isotopes. These three methods are the basic tools for the new Research Nutrition Center which are now in progress.
