Comparison of estimates of zinc absorption in humans by using 4 stable isotopic tracer methods and compartmental analysis

BACKGROUND: Adjustment of gastrointestinal absorption is the primary means of maintaining zinc homeostasis; however, a precise, accurate method for measuring zinc absorption in humans has not been identified. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the estimates of the fraction of dietary zinc absorbed (FZA) by using 4 stable isotopic tracer methods: mass balance (MB) corrected for endogenous secretion, fecal monitoring (FM), deconvolution analysis (DA), and the double isotopic tracer ratio (DITR) method. DESIGN: All 4 methods were applied to a single data set for each of 6 women. FZA was also determined for each subject by using a detailed compartmental model of zinc metabolism, and that value was used as the reference with which the simpler methods were compared. RESULTS: The estimates of FZA (&xmacr; +/- SD) determined by DA (0.27 +/- 0. 08) and the DITR technique in plasma (0.30 +/- 0.10), 24-h urine samples (0.29 +/- 0.09), and spot urine samples (0.291 +/- 0.089) all compared well with the FZA reference value from the compartmental model (0.30 +/- 0.10). The MB and FM methods tended to overestimate FZA compared with the reference value. CONCLUSIONS: The determination of FZA by MB or FM is laborious, is sensitive to subject compliance, and may result in an overestimate. DA, although relatively accurate, has the disadvantage of requiring multiple blood drawings over several days. In contrast, the DITR technique applied to a spot urine specimen obtained >/=3 d after tracer administration provides an accurate measure of FZA and is easy to implement; therefore, it is the recommended method for determination of FZA.     

双标稳定性同位素测定微量元素吸收率

Magnesium absorption using stable isotope tracers in healthy children and children treated for leukemia

Intestinal magnesium (Mg) absorption was measured in six healthy children (control) and in four children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the single-isotope fecal recovery technique (SIFRT). The objective of this study was to determine Mg absorption in young children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia using stable isotope tracers. Fractional and absolute absorption levels determined by SIFRT were not significantly different between children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (fractional absorption: 58.3 +/- 10.6% [mean +/- SEM], absolute absorption: 3.66 +/- 0.71 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), [0.15 +/- 0.03 mmol x kg(-1) x d(-1)]) and control children (fractional absorption: 61.4 +/- 7.5%, absolute absorption: 5.69 +/- 0.85 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), [0.23 +/- 0.03 mmol x kg(-1) x d(-1)]). Average Mg absorption in young children (aged 3--8 y) was 60.2 +/- 5.8%. This study describes the first application of the SIFRT to assess Mg absorption in young children and illustrates the feasibility of the SIFRT in this age group to obtain more accurate information on Mg absorption.     

Intrinsic and extrinsic stable isotopic zinc absorption by infants from formulas

The kinetics of fecal elimination and the extent of fractional absorption of intrinsic and extrinsic zinc from infant formula were studied in 11 human infants by using a direct, simultaneous dual-label method based on fecal monitoring of unabsorbed stable isotope labels. The relative positions of the two stable isotopic tags (67Zn, 70Zn) as extrinsic and intrinsic labels were reversed in two separate determinations of fractional absorption. Administration of doubly labeled formula for 24 h or less permitted elimination of unabsorbed labels before the end of a 72-h metabolic interval. The extent of enrichment and the kinetics of fecal elimination of unabsorbed extrinsic stable isotopic zinc tag were observed to agree closely with the corresponding values for the intrinsic tag. Fractional absorption of intrinsic and extrinsic tags was highly correlated and did not differ significantly. The ratio of fractional absorption of extrinsic tag to that of intrinsic tag was 1.05 +/- 0.19 (mean +/- SD). The results constitute strong support for validation of the use of enriched stable isotopes at low levels (less than or equal to 10%) of extrinsic addition to milk-based diets for studies of zinc absorption by humans.     

Methods for assessing gastrointestinal absorption of strontium in humans by stable tracer techniques

Intestinal absorption of strontium from an oral test dose was studied in 13 healthy human volunteers using double tracer techniques with two stable strontium isotopes as tracers. Defined amounts of one isotope were administered orally, while tracer amounts of the second isotope were injected intravenously. Two different methods were used to assess the total fraction absorbed (f1 value). Fractional intestinal strontium absorption can be calculated from the ratio of the two isotopes in plasma or urine samples (in this paper called the double-isotope method) or the convolution integral technique, since both methods provide an accurate estimate of fractional absorption and yield comparable results. The latter additionally provides information on the absorption kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract. The absorption varies with respect to the chemical form and to the amount administered. Absorption patterns are characteristically different for uptake from solutions or from whole meals.     

Methodologies for using stable isotopes to assess magnesium absorption and secretion in children

OBJECTIVE: To provide methodological information regarding the absorption and excretion of dietary magnesium by children and adolescents. METHODS: Recently, stable isotope techniques for assessing magnesium absorption and excretion have been developed which allow for these studies to be safely performed in subjects of all ages. In the report, we describe the dosing and sample requirements for such studies. RESULTS: Our data demonstrate that, after oral and intravenous dosing of isotopes, a complete 72-hour urine collection will allow for determination of fractional magnesium absorption. In our study, urinary, but not endogenous fecal magnesium excretion, was closely correlated with magnesium intake (r = 0.47, p = 0.02 vs r = 0.08, p = 0.69). As endogenous fecal magnesium excretion is small relative to urinary magnesium excretion, measurement of endogenous fecal magnesium excretion is not needed to make a reasonable estimate of net magnesium retention for most studies. Using high-precision analytical techniques, an intravenous dose of 25Mg of approximately 0.2 to 0.3 mg/kg would be adequate for absorption measurements. CONCLUSIONS: The cost and availability of isotopes and their analysis are such that it should be feasible for increasing numbers of investigators to make use of these techniques.     

Fractional zinc absorption using a single isotope tracer.

BACKGROUND: Fractional absorption of zinc (Zn) has been measured using dual isotopes of Zn given simultaneously. An oral test dose and an intravenous (i.v.) reference dose are administered, followed by the measurement of the double isotopic enrichment (E) in urine 48 h after administration. We postulated that an estimate of the %E in urine for a given i.v. dose of Zn may be used to eliminate the need for venipuncture and the second Zn isotope. OBJECTIVES: To determine a constant (k) for the Zn enrichment of urine after i.v. administration of a dose of labeled Zn in Zn-replete subjects. To use 'k' to calculate fractional absorption of Zn, and to compare these values to values obtained using the standard dual isotope method. DESIGN: Single-arm cohort. SETTING: The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. SUBJECTS: Twenty-three healthy adults were recruited from the Metropolitan Toronto area. Seventeen subjects completed the study. INTERVENTIONS: A 2.29 mg i.v. dose of (67)Zn followed immediately by a 2.50 mg oral dose of (70)Zn. RESULTS: Population mean percentage enrichment (%E) of (67)Zn in urine was 1.43 (95% CI 1.26, 1.60). The ratio of the i.v. dose to mean %E in urine (k) was estimated to be 1.60 mg (95% CI 1.43, 1.82). There was no difference in the mean fractional absorption of Zn calculated using the single compared to the dual isotope method: 12.58% (95% CI 2.22, 22.94) vs 12.68% (95% CI 4.52, 20.85), respectively (P=0.89). The correlation coefficient between the two methods was 0.81 (P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: The dual isotope method may be replaced by using a constant (k) and a single oral dose of isotopic-enriched Zn to estimate fractional absorption of Zn within a population.
