Abstract
The determination method of NADP, which has been reported previously by Shibata et al. [Agric. Biol. Chem., 50,2941-2942(1986)] was successfully improved for the estimation of blood NADP. Blood NADP levels in 40 women students were measured by using this improved method. The μl of whole blood was required for this method of NADP determination. Ten minimum blood NADP value was 6.9 nmol/ml of whole blood and the maximum value 13.3 nmol. NADP levels of about 80% student were included within 8-11 nmol/ml of whole blood. The mean ± S.D. was 9.6 ± 1.4 nmol/ml of whole blood.
