Abstract
A method of diagnosing a mitochondrial related disease in a subject includes administering a deuterated metabolic water precursor to the subject, measuring a rate of deuterated water formation in a sample region of the subject, and comparing the measured deuterated water formation in the sample region to a control value. A difference between the rate of deuterated water formation in the sample region compared to a control value is indicative of a mitochondrial related disease.
