  2. Deuterium-depleted water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterium-depleted_water

    Deuterium-depleted water has less deuterium (2 H) than occurs in nature at sea level. [1] Deuterium is a naturally-occurring, stable (non-radioactive) isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus consisting of one proton and one neutron. A nucleus of normal hydrogen (protium, 1 H) consists of one proton only, and no neutron.

  3. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    Since one in about every 6,400 hydrogen atoms is deuterium, a 50-kilogram (110 lb) human containing 32 kilograms (71 lb) of body water would normally contain enough deuterium (about 1.1 grams or 0.039 ounces) to make 5.5 grams (0.19 oz) of pure heavy water, so roughly this dose is required to double the amount of deuterium in the body.

  4. Deuterated drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterated_drug

    A deuterated drug is a small molecule medicinal product in which one or more of the hydrogen atoms in the drug molecule have been replaced by its heavier stable isotope deuterium. Because of the kinetic isotope effect, deuterium-containing drugs may have significantly lower rates of metabolism, and hence a longer half-life. [1] [2] [3]

    "The majority of the adult body is water, up to 60% of your weight," says Schnoll-Sussman, adding that the average person's weight can fluctuate one to five pounds per day due to water.

  7. Doubly labeled water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_labeled_water

    DLW ('tagged' water) is traceable hydrogen (deuterium), and traceable oxygen (18 O). The 18 O leaves the body in two ways: (i) exhaled CO 2, and (ii) water loss in (mostly) urine, sweat, and breath. But the deuterium leaves only in the second way (water loss). From deuterium loss, we know how much of the tagged water left the body as water.

  8. Semiheavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiheavy_water

    Semiheavy water is the result of replacing one of the protium (normal hydrogen, 1 H) in normal water with deuterium (2 H; or less correctly, [1] D). [2] It exists whenever there is water with 1 H and 2 H in the mix. This is because hydrogen atoms (1,2 H) are rapidly exchanged between water molecules.

  9. Diuretic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diuretic

    Glucosuria causes a loss of hypotonic water and Na +, leading to a hypertonic state with signs of volume depletion, such as dry mucosa, hypotension, tachycardia, and decreased turgor of the skin. Use of some drugs , especially stimulants , may also increase blood glucose and thus increase urination.
