Steve,

I'm sure the medical literature is full of good examples, but also try
these sources:

Chapman, T.E., Berger, R., Reijngoud, D.J., and Okken, A.  1990.  Stable
isotopes in paediatric nutritional and metabolic research. Intercept Ltd,
Hanover, England. 317p.

Hobson, K.A., Alisauskas, R.T., and Clark, R.G. 1993. Stable-nitrogen
isotope enrichment in avian tissues due to fasting and nutritional stress:
implications for isotopic analyses of diet. Condor 95: 388-394.

Mellon, F.A., and Sandström, B.  1996.  Stable isotopes in human nutrition:
inorganic nutrient metabolism. Academic Press, New York. 156p.
