description Product Description
Methacetin (methoxy-13C) is primarily used in medical diagnostics, specifically in breath tests to assess liver function. The compound is metabolized by the liver, and during this process, it releases labeled carbon dioxide (13CO2), which is then exhaled. By measuring the amount of 13CO2 in the breath, healthcare professionals can evaluate the metabolic capacity of the liver, particularly in detecting conditions such as liver cirrhosis or hepatitis. This non-invasive method provides a reliable and safe way to monitor liver health without the need for blood tests or biopsies. Additionally, it is used in research studies to understand liver enzyme activity and drug metabolism pathways.
