Fractional synthetic rate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fractional synthetic rate (FSR) is the rate at which a precursor compound is incorporated into a product per unit of product mass.[1] The metric has been used to estimate the rate at which proteins, lipids, and lipoproteins are synthesized within humans and other animals.[1][2] The formula used to calculate the FSR from a stable isotope tracer experiment is:[1]
