LDH-C4 is a lactate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. In mammals, ldh-c was originally thought to be expressed only in testis and spermatozoa. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae), which belongs to the genus Ochotona of the Ochotonidea family, is a hypoxia tolerant mammal living 3000-5000 m above sea level on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, an environment which is stro...

VVhen native and acid-denatured Jactate dehydregenase (LDH) were incubated with total lysosomal enzymes in vitro, amino acids from their degradation were produced at various acidic pH. The pH profile in the overall degradation of natiye LDH was markedly different from that of acid-denatured LDH. Disappearance of the 35-kDa subunit of native LDH was markedly suppressed by a low level of cystatin...

Lactate dehydrogenase activity (LDH) was measured in the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line derived at the Michigan Cancer Foundation from a patient with metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. LDH was found in the 46,000 X g supernatant of cell lysates, but not in the culture medium. Only the fifth isozyme (LDH-5) could be demonstrated by cellulose acetate electrophoresis and relative heat inactiva...

Human genomic clones containing parts of the lactate dehydrogenase B (LDH-B) gene (approx. 25 kb in length) were isolated and characterized. The protein-coding sequence of human LDH-B gene is interrupted by six introns at codons nos. 42-43, 82, 140, 198, 237 and 278-279, and the positions of these introns are homologous to those of LDH-A genes from man and mouse. The 5' non-coding region of hum...

Lactate dehydrogenase A4 (LDH-A4) was purified for yak skeletal muscle. Michaelis constant (Km) analysis showed that yak LDH-A4 for pyruvate was significantly higher than that of cattle. cDNA cloning of LDH-A revealed two amino acid substitutions between yak and cattle. We suggest that the higher Km of yak LDH-A4 might be a result of molecular adaptation to a hypoxic environment.

Studies of experimental acute kidney injury (AKI) are critically dependent on having precise methods for assessing the extent of tubular cell death. However, the most widely used techniques either provide indirect assessments (e.g., BUN, creatinine), suffer from the need for semi-quantitative grading (renal histology), or reflect the status of residual viable, not the number of lost, renal tubu...

Two lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) genes from Lactobacillus sp. strain MONT4 were cloned by complementation in Escherichia coli DC1368 (ldh pfl) and were sequenced. The sequence analysis revealed a novel genomic organization of the ldh genes. Subcloning of the individual ldh genes and their Northern blot analyses indicated that the genes are monocistronic.

Ionic liquid-based N-octadecyl-N'-octadecyl imidazolium iodide functionalized layered double hydroxide (LDH-IM) was synthesized for manufacturing high-performance epoxy nanocomposites. Nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) performed to study cure kinetics of reinforced قث with LDH and LDH-IM. Incorporation Mg-Al-CO3 into hindered the curing reaction, as detected by dimensionless...

BACKGROUND Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common indication for lumbar spine surgery. The proportion of patients having a second surgery within 2 years varies in the literature between 0.5% and 24%, with recurrent herniation being the most common cause. Several studies have not found any relevant outcome differences between patients undergoing surgery for primary LDH and patients undergoing ...
