Volume of water emptied from the stomach and D/H ratio measured at 90 minutes in the three groups

	Placebo	Injection	Electrolysis
Water emptied from the stomach (mL)	185±14	238±18	151±16
Final D/H in water from plasma (ppm)	92±4	93±3	94±4
D/H in water from skin (ppm)	78±5	67±3	77±4
D/H in water from muscle (ppm)	74±5	65±4	77±4

Notes: Values are presented as mean ± SEM. D/H ratio given in ppm above background values. No significant differences were detected between the three groups.

Abbreviations: D/H, deuterium/protium; SEM, standard error of the mean.
