Marrow aspirates were obtained within 2 hours of discontinuing a 45-49 hour continuous [2H2]-glucose.

CD133+ cells were selected from low-density marrow cells, and then CD34+ cells were selected from the CD133- cell fraction (CD133-CD34+ cells).

Values are the means determined from 3 measurements for %[2H2] dA enrichment from the same sample of processed cells. The fraction of new cells (F) and kinetic parameters were calculated as described in “Patients, materials, and methods”.19,21 

§

Calculated from the decrease in %[2H2] dA enrichment observed at week 2.

Estimated from marrow samples obtained 24 hours after the end of the [2H2]-glucose infusion period. The %[2H2] dA enrichment was 3.1 ± 0.04 for CD133+ cells, 5.4 ± 0.06 for CD133-CD34+ cells, and 5.1 ± 0.09 for CD34+ cells from the same marrow sample.
