Independent mass isotopomers in the metabolic system.
| Metabolite | Number of independent mass isotopomersa |
|---|---|
| Plasma glucose | 6 |
| Plasma lactate | 3 |
| Hepatic pyruvate | 3 |
| Hepatic oxaloacetate | 4 |
| Hepatic fumarate | 4 |
| Hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate | 3 |
| Hepatic glucose-6-phosphate | 6 |
| Total | 29 |
aMass isotopomers values are modeled as fractional abundances. For each metabolite one isotopomer is not independent but known as 1 – sum of all other isotopomers.
