Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main parameter of the study is the amount of deuterium (label) that the<br /><br>different leukocyte populations have incorporated in their DNA by cell division<br /><br>at a given time. For this purpose blood withdrawals are done both in the period<br /><br>during which participants drink 2H2O (uplabelling phase), and in the period<br /><br>after stopping with 2H2O intake (delabelling phase). Data obtained during<br /><br>uplabelling and delabelling phases can be interpreted by mathematical models<br /><br>that describe the dynamics of leukocyte populations.</p><br>
