Whole-body protein turnover measurements using the single dose [15N]glycine technique were made in a woman 59 years old completely paralysed by the Guillain-Barre syndrome. Variation (difference x 100/mean) between the results of the studies was better than 0.75% for protein flux, better than 0.85% for protein breakdown, and better than 5% for protein synthesis.
