Abstract A colorimetric method is described for the measurement of serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. The method employs phenazine methosulfate to mediate electron transfer between reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide and 2,6-dichloroindophenol, and allows continuous measurement of the reaction rate in the direction lactate to pyruvate. The LDH of a number of normal and pathologic sera was measured by the present method and by the ultraviolet spectrophotometric method. Agreement between the two methods is good.

The activity of several clinically important enzymes was determined in 11 Alsatian dogs exercised in a temperate environment, exposed to heat stress alone, and exercised in a hot environment before and after heat acclimatization. Enhanced activities of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) (P < 0.01), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) (P < 0.05), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), phosphohexose isomerase (PHI) (P < 0.05), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aldolase (ALD), and lipase (LIP) were observed in all dogs exposed to the various physiological stresses. The alteration in enzyme activities of acclimatized dogs was generally smaller than in nonacclimatized animals. Comparison between the two control groups (heat acclimatized versus nonacclimatized) indicates a significant increase in LDH activity (P < 0.01) and lower activities of PHI (P < 0.05), ACP (P < 0.05), and ALP (P < 0.01) in heat-acclimatized dogs. blood serum enzymes in acute stresses; muscular exercise in a hot environment; nonacclimatized dogs; heat-acclimatized dogs Submitted on August 17, 1964

Abstract A new automatic potentiometric reaction-rate method has been applied to the specific enzymatic measurement of glucose in blood plasma or serum. A new filtering technic is described for removal of precipitated protein. The use of injection pipets to simplify and speed up the reagent-and sample-handling step is described. Glucose is determined in 0.02 ml. of serum or plasma with relative errors within 2%. The average measurement time is about 30 sec.

Abstract An automatic reaction rate method is described for the determination of lactic acid in blood. The L(+)-lactic acid is selectively oxidized in the presence of lactic dehydrogenase and diphosphopyridine nucleotide to form an absorbing species. The time required for the formation of a fixed amount of DANH is measured automatically and related directly to the lactic acid concentration. The method is sensitive, more rapid than purely chemical procedures, and relative errors are only about 1-3% for the range 6-200 µg of lactic acid. The coefficient of variation for the determination of lactic acid in 0.2 ml of blood is 3%. Measurement times vary from a few seconds to about 2 min.

Abstract An instrument interface which generates an output voltage level proportional to rate of change of an input voltage is described. The interface permits direct connection of routine spectrophotometric rate measurements to a real-time laboratory computer system. The form of the voltage level output enables the computer to read rates in the same manner as peaks are read for AutoAnalyzers, permitting the clinical laboratory LABCOM system to compute and report results for rate methods with no software changes. Spectrophotometric rates from about 10 to 0.025 absorbance units per min can be measured with an accuracy and precision of less than 1% relative in measurement times of about 10 to 30 s, respectively. The interface is readily constructed from commercially available components. Test results are presented for simulated rates, lactic dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase.
