 AB    We find that induction of catabolic state changes the ratios of carbon
       13 to carbon 12 in blood proteins. Diet can be inferred in growing
       chicks by feather carbon isotope ratios. This suggests an approach for
       early detection of catabolic state induced in patients with HIV, cancers
       that induce catabolism, infection onset, sepsis, kidney and liver
       disease, malnutrition and dietary problems. The technique would also be
       useful in animal husbandry.
