20140107516 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE METABOLIC CAPACITY OF AT LEAST ONE ENZYME - A method for determining the metabolic capacity of an enzyme includes time-resolved determination of the concentration of a product in exhaled air. The product is created by metabolism of a substrate, previously administered to an individual, by an enzyme of the individual. The product concentration is determined until the maximum product concentration in the exhaled air is reached. A model function is fitted to measured values of the product concentration, obtained by the time-resolved determination of the product concentration between start and end times. The metabolic capacity of the enzyme is determined based on parameters of the model function. Determining the metabolic capacity of the enzyme takes place based on at least two parameters of the model function, wherein the maximum value and time constant of the model function are not selected as parameters at the same time, and the start and/or end times are not selected as parameters. | 04-17-2014 |
20110313677 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE LIVER PERFORMANCE OF A LIVING ORGANISM BY THE MEANS OF QUANTITATIVE MEASURING THE METABOLIZATION OF SUBSTRATES - A method for determining the liver performance of a living organism, in particular a human, comprising administering at least one | 12-22-2011 |
20110270113 | MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING A SAMPLE GAS BY INFRARED ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY - A measurement device and a method for analyzing a sample gas by infrared absorption spectroscopy are described. The measurement device comprises: a measurement chamber with the sample gas to be analyzed, a laser being arranged in relation to the measurement chamber such that light being emitted from the laser radiates through the measurement chamber, a detection device detecting the light being emitted from the laser and radiated through the measurement chamber, and an evaluation unit evaluating signals generated by the detection device regarding a light absorption occurred in the measurement chamber. Provision is made that the laser is a narrowband emitting laser, the line width of which is smaller or equal to the width of an infrared absorption line to be measured of the sample gas, the laser is designed and arranged such that the laser frequency is varied periodically within a defined spectral range, wherein the laser frequency and its variation are chosen such that at least one infrared absorption line to be measured of the sample gas lies in the defined spectral range, and the detection device is designed and arranged such that it detects the light being emitted from the laser and radiated through the measurement chamber in such a time-resolved manner that the light absorption can be determined frequency-resolved within the defined spectral range, wherein the detection device carries out a single absorption measurement within 10 | 11-03-2011 |
