Abstract Background: 13C and 15N isotopes in human tissue reflects the relative proportions of marine and terrestrial food consumed by the individual. Objective: To measure 13C and 15N in liver tissue from Greenlandic Inuit and Danes Methods: Liver tissue was obtained at autopsy in 1992-1994 from 60...
