Several methods are available for the extraction and quantitation of oxidized and reduced pyridine nucleotides in erythrocytes. Enzymatic methods, however, are complicated by the presence of hemoglobin, which causes oxidation of NADH and NADPH during extraction. Although hemoglobin-mediated oxidation can be prevented by the addition of reducing agents, these interfere with spectrophotometric cycling assays for these nucleotides. Therefore, we have developed a method for determining oxidized and reduced NAD and NADP in human erythrocytes using a single extract. Our extraction method eliminates the need for reducing agents and thus allows the use of a spectrophotometic cycling assay. Using this method, we obtained full recovery of all added nucleotides with both normal and reticulocyte-enriched red blood cells. Our method is suitable for the determination of NAD+, NADH, NADP+, and NADPH in normal human erythrocytes and in red cells from patients with hemolytic anemia with a higher proportion of reticulocytes.
