Schoenheimer's remarkable contributions to the study of intermediary metabolism and the turnover of body constituents, based initially on compounds tagged with 2H and later with 15N, spanned a mere decade. It is difficult, however, to overestimate the enormous impact of Schoenheimer's research on the evolution of biological science. After a relative hiatus, following Schoenheimer's death in 1941, in the use of stable nuclides as tracers in metabolism and nutrition, especially in human subjects, there is now an expanded and exciting range of techniques, experimental protocols and stable-isotope tracer compounds that are helping to probe the dynamic aspects of the metabolism of the major energy-yielding substrates, amino acids and other N-containing compounds, vitamins and mineral elements in human subjects. Various aspects of the contemporary applications of these tracers in nutrition research are covered in the present lecture.
