title: Use of gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry in nutrition and metabolic research.
abstract: Linking gas chromatography via an on-line combustion interface to isotope ratio mass spectrometry has opened the door to high-precision compound-specific isotope analysis. For this reason, gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry is now increasingly employed in metabolic and nutritional research because it offers a reliable and risk-free alternative to the use of radioactive tracers.
