  • Metabolic Tracing of NAD Precursors Using Strategically Labelled Isotopes of NMN
    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.
