Technical Abstract: Advances in molecular biology and stable isotope techniques during the last decade have led to an explosion of research aimed at understanding the biological basis of metabolomics from the level of systemic physiology, to intermediary metabolism, to molecular regulation of critical proteins, and on down to genomic expression. We shall highlight principles, approaches, and applications of these cutting-edge molecular and metabolic techniques.
