Measurement of acetaminophen glucuronide (AG) ²H enrichment from deuterated water (²H2O) by ²H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of its monoacetone glucose (MAG) derivative provides estimation of gluconeogenic and glycogenolytic contributions to endogenous glucose production (EGP). However, AG derivatization to MAG is laborious and unsuitable for high-throughput studies. An alternative derivative, 5-O-acetyl monoacetone glucuronolactone (MAGLA), was tested. Eleven healthy subjects ingested ²H2O to 0.5% body water enrichment and 500mg of acetaminophen. Plasma glucose and urinary glucuronide positional ²H enrichments were measured by ²H NMR spectroscopy of MAG and MAGLA, respectively. A Bland–Altman analysis indicated agreement at the 95% confidence level between glucose and glucuronide estimates.
