The measurement of plasma urea and calculation of eGFR were performed by the Sydney Adventist Hospital pathology laboratory using methods well established for clinical laboratories. Briefly, fasting plasma urea levels were determined by the enzymatic method on a Roche/Hitachi cobas c system. Estimated Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study equation: GFR (ml/min/1.73m2) = 186 × (serum creatinine level [mg/dl])-1.154 × (age)-0.203× [0.742, if female] × [1.212, if black] [23 (link), 24 ].
Plasma levels of NAD+ and its metabolites [NADP+, cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR), nicotinamide (NAM), N-methylnicotinamide (MeNAM)] were measured by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), as previously described [25 ]. LC/MS/MS was carried out using a UPLC-MSD assembly consisting of an Accela UPLC pump, Accela AS injector, and a TSQ Vantage bench-top mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, US).
Plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were quantitated using the MILLIPLEX® MAP Human High Sensitivity T Cell Magnetic Bead Panel immunoassay (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany).
Plasma Kynurenine (Kyn) and Tryptophan (Trp) levels were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (Shimadzu LC-10AVP system, equipped with SPD- 10A UV detector, Kyoto, Japan), as previously described [26 (link)].

Quantitative Metabolic Profiling by LC/MS/MS

LC/MS/MS was carried out using a UPLC-MSD assembly consisting of an Accela AS injector, Accela UPLC pump, and a TSQ Vantage bench-top mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) equipped with a heated electrospray probe (HESI). Each NAD+ metabolite (50 μM in 50% methanol) was infused at 10 μl/min by means of the Vantage syringe pump system into the MSD and subjected to collision induced dissociation in negative and positive ion mode to determine the most intense product ion (optimum sensitivity) and its associated collision voltage. These transitions (SRM) were subsequently set in the method MSD parameters. Hence, the MSD was operated in mixed polarity multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). All transitions and collision energies are shown in Table 1. Spectra were accumulated during 0.250 s per transition. MSD capillary voltage, capillary temperature and collision gas pressure (argon) were set to 4000 V, 300 °C and 1.0 Torr respectively. Sheath and auxiliary gas valves (nitrogen) were set at 20 and 10 arbitrary units.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
