Stable Isotope Technique to Assess Intake of Human Milk in Breastfed Infants IAEA Human Health Series No. 7;15 March 2010, 67 pp. International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, Austria.
The stable (non-radioactive) isotope technique has been developed to assess intake of human milk in breastfed infants. The practical application of the stable isotope technique, based on analysis of deuterium by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), is presented in this book.
