Accurate measurement of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) with high-performance liquid chromatography

Methods Mol Biol. 2013:1077:203-15. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-637-5_14.

Abstract

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) plays a critical role in regulating numerous biological and physiological pathways including metabolism, inflammation, cancer, and aging in mammals. Here we describe a highly quantitative method with reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of NAD(+) levels in cells and tissues. This methodology provides accurate, reliable, and reproducible results of NAD(+) measurement, which enables us to analyze various pathophysiological changes in NAD(+) levels in vitro and in vivo.
