title: Reproducibility of whole-body protein turnover measurements in an 'ideal' metabolic subject.
abstract: Whole-body protein turnover measurements using the single dose 15N-glycine technique have been made in a patient completely paralysed by the Guillaine-Barré syndrome. Variation (difference x 100/mean) between the results of the studies was better than 0.75 per cent for protein flux, better than 0.85 per cent for protein breakdown, and better than 5 per cent for protein synthesis.
