To measure concurrently the lifetimes of proteins and lipids, we incubated fruit flies with stable isotope-labeled precursors (13C615N2-lysine or 13C6-glucose) and determined the relative abundance of heavy isotopomers in protein and lipid species by mass spectrometry. We restricted our analysis to ...
