triolein breath test,

a breath test for pancreatic function. The fasting patient is administered triolein labeled with either carbon 13 or carbon 14, and levels of labeled carbon dioxide in the exhaled breath are subsequently measured at regular time intervals; low levels of carbon dioxide indicate inadequate pancreatic lipase, such as with a pancreatic disease or cystic fibrosis.
