Abstract

A non-invasive optical method to monitor cellular NADH and probe metabolic activity was illustrated. The autofluorescence intensity differences between cell lines were due to the differing concentrations of protein bound mitochondrial NADH. Fluorescence decays were analyzed by least squares iterative reconvolution to account for instrument response and to extract lifetimes and amplitudes. All data were obtained using an excitation wavelength of 337.1 nm.
