Experimental reliability of the doubly labeled water technique

The experimental reliability of measuring CO2 production rates (rCO2) with the doubly labeled water (DLW) technique was assessed in five young healthy men (23 (DLW) technique was assessed in five young healthy men (23 +/- 4 yr; 66.1 +/- 4.6 kg). To minimize the confounding effects of fluctuations in physical activity and eating patterns on variation in energy expenditure, the subjects lived under sedentary living conditions by confinement to their own room at a Clinical Research Center and were maintained on a fixed and known level of energy intake. rCO2 was determined in duplicate over two identical 9-day study periods after separate loading doses of deuterium and oxygen-18. Turnover rates were determined from multipoint sampling to reduce error from analytical uncertainty. Dilution spaces were determined by both the intercept and plateau methods. The average experimental variation for rCO2 estimates was approximately +/- 8.5% and was not significantly different among three published calculation models that differ in their assumptions regarding the relationship between the dilution spaces of deuterium and oxygen-18. The experimental reliability of +/- 8.5% exceeds theoretical values generated from calculations based on propagation of error from analytical uncertainty. Between subjects, the experimental variation ranged from 1 to 21%, and the half-width of the 95% confidence interval for the precision of rCO2 estimates was high (+/- 12 mol/day) relative to the mean reported value of approximately 16 mol/day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
