    A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Metabolic tracing of NAD+ precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN by Lynn-Jee Kim Supervisors Dr. Lindsay E. Wu (Primary) Prof. David A. Sinclair (Joint-Primary) Dr. Lake-Ee Quek (Co-supervisor) School of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name: Kim Given Name/s: Lynn-Jee Abbreviation for degree as give in PhD the University calendar: Faculty: Faculty of Medicine School: School of Medical Sciences + Thesis Title: Metabolic tracing of NAD precursors using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important cofactor and substrate for hundreds of cellular processes involved in redox homeostasis, DNA damage repair and the stress response. NAD+ declines with biological ageing and in age-related diseases such as diabetes and strategies to restore intracellular NAD+ levels are emerging as a promising strategy to protect against metabolic dysfunction, treat age-related conditions and promote healthspan and longevity. One of the most effective ways to increase NAD+ is through pharmacological supplementation with NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) which can be orally delivered. Long term administration of NMN in mice mitigates age-related physiological decline and alleviates the pathophysiologies associated with a high fat diet- and age-induced diabetes. Despite such efforts, there are certain aspects of NMN metabolism that are poorly understood. In this thesis, the mechanisms involved in the utilisation and transport of orally administered NMN were investigated using strategically labelled isotopes of NMN and mass spectrometry.

    Volume 141 Number 21 7 November 2016 Pages 5903–6162 Analyst www.rsc.org/analyst ISSN 0003-2654 TUTORIAL REVIEW Chris Jeynes and Julien L. Colaux Thin fi lm depth profi ling by ion beam analysis Analyst View Article Online TUTORIAL REVIEW View Journal | View Issue Thin film depth profiling by ion beam analysis Cite this: Analyst, 2016, 141, 5944 Chris Jeynes* and Julien L. Colaux† The analysis of thin films is of central importance for functional materials, including the very large and active field of nanomaterials. Quantitative elemental depth profiling is basic to analysis, and many tech- niques exist, but all have limitations and quantitation is always an issue. We here review recent significant advances in ion beam analysis (IBA) which now merit it a standard place in the analyst’s toolbox. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) has been in use for half a century to obtain elemental depth profiles non-destructively from the first fraction of a micron from the surface of materials: more generally, “IBA” refers to the cluster of methods including elastic scattering (RBS; elastic recoil detection, ERD; and non-Rutherford elastic backscattering, EBS), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA: including particle- induced gamma-ray emission, PIGE), and also particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE). We have at last demonstrated what was long promised, that RBS can be used as a primary reference technique for the best traceable accuracy available for non-destructive model-free methods in thin films. Also, it has Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licence. become clear over the last decade that we can effectively combine synergistically the quite different information available from the atomic (PIXE) and nuclear (RBS, EBS, ERD, NRA) methods.
