Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

A fluorometric method for determination of glutathione reductase activity in microgram samples of tissue, i.e., microtome sections, based on measurement of the decrease of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate due to its oxidation on reaction with oxidized glutathione, was developed and applied to the quantitative histologic distribution of the enzyme in the adrenal gland of the rat. Single subcutaneous injections of adrenocorticotropin in saline solution (25 mg/kg) produced little change of enzyme activity in any of the histologic zones, although there was some tendency for the peak activity to shift from fasciculata to the fascicular-reticular border region. The possible interrelationship of glutathione reductase with ascorbic acid and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in adrenal function was considered.

Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

Abstract Determination of fluorescence remaining after reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) has reacted with excess acetaldehyde in the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) is useful as a criterion of NADH purity when used in conjunction with other methods for determining purity such as the rate of reaction, the ratio of ultraviolet absorbances at 260 nm and 340 nm, the color, and the chromatographic homogeneity of the preparation. Measurement of residual fluorescence monitors the enzymatically inactive material which absorbs at 340 nm. The specific optical rotations of NADH at several wavelengths are also reported.
