The LDH isoenzyme composition of 12 platelet preparations was determined by electrophoresis. The mean (+/- SD) percentages of LDH-1, LDH-2, LDH-3, LDH-4, and LDH-5 were 16.6 +/- 1.7, 30.1 +/- 1.0, 34.2 +/- 1.3, 18.2 +/- 1.3, and 0.9 +/- 1.1, respectively. In comparison with previous data, these data show identical ranking of the prevalence of each isoenzyme but significantly different percentag...

The objective of this study was to present a classification of the root development stage of female rat molar teeth and to evaluate the variation in the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and electrophoretic isoenzyme profile according to the stage of root development of the molar teeth. We also studied the LDH activity and isoenzymes of the pulp of incisor teeth. The stage of development of ...

Testis-specific lactate dehydrogenase (LDH-C₄) is one of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isozymes that catalyze the terminal reaction of pyruvate to lactate in the glycolytic pathway. LDH-C₄ in mammals was previously thought to be expressed only in spermatozoa and testis and not in other tissues. Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) belongs to the genus Ochotona of the Ochotonidea family. It is a ...

This study examined the isoenzymatic pattern of LDH in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as well as the ratio between the five fractions of LDH among patients with various brain tumours, carcinomatous meningitis and control groups. LDH 1/LDH 2 less than 1 was found significant for carcinomatous meningitis (p less than 0.001) and brain metastases (p less than 0.001). LDH 1/LDH 2 ratio was found to b...

THE DETERMINATION of serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes holds out numerous possibilities in the clinical laboratory aside from the obvious applications in myocardial immfarction and liver disease. An excellent review on different patterims obtained in various diseases can be found in an article by Wr#{243}blewski (1). Richterich et at. (2) describe the patterns found in humami tissues. Neve...
