Protocol
I. Extraction of NAD+ and NADH:
1. Serum
Extraction of NAD+:Add 0.5 mL of acid extract solution to 0.1 mL of serum, boiling 5 minutes, ice bath
after cooling. Centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant 200 µL and add equal volume
alkaline extract solution. Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant,
preserve on ice for test.
Extraction of NADH:Add 0.5 mL of alkaline extract solution to 0.1 mL of serum, boiling 5 min, ice bath
after cooling. Centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant 200 µL and add equal volume
acid extract solution. Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant,
preserve on ice for test.
2. Tissue
Extraction of NAD+: Add 0.5 mL of acid extract solution to 0.1 g of tissue, grinding on ice, boiling 5
minutes, ice bath after cooling. Centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant 200 µL and
add equal volume alkaline extract solution.Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃,
take supernatant, preserve on ice for test.
Extraction of NADH:Add 0.5 mL of alkaline extract solution to 0.1 g of tissue, grinding on ice, boiling 5
minutes, ice bath after cooling. Centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant 200 µL and
add equal volume acid extract solution. Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take
supernatant, preserve on ice for test.
3. Cells or microorganism:
Extraction of NAD+: Add 0.5 mL of acid extract solution to 5 million cells or germ, ultrasonic
1min(power 20% or 200W, ultrasonic 2s, interval 1s), boiling 5 minutes, ice bath after cooling. Centrifuge
at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant 200 µL and add equal volume alkaline extract solution.
Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 10000 ×g for 10 minutes at 4℃, take supernatant, preserve on ice for test.
