A diagnostic agent for pancreatic exocrine function comprising an amino acid or a peptide containing at least one <13>C or <14>C atom, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof other than Bz-Tyr-<13>C-PABA is provided. A <13>C- or <14>C-labeled compound represented by the following formula (II): X2-R2-Y2-Z1 or a salt thereof, wherein X2 is a hydrogen atom or a protecting group, R2 is a peptide of 2 to 5 amino acids, an amino acid or a single bond, Y2 is an amino acid, Z1 is an amino acid optionally having a protecting group, and at least one of the amino acids in R2,Y2and Z1, or at least one of the protecting groups in X2 and Z1 when the protecting groups contain a carbon atom, is <13>C or <14>C-labeled. <IMAGE> |
