Abstract A convenient electrophoretic procedure for the separation and quantitation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes is described. The system uses polyacetate Sepraphore III strips.* The areas of activity are shown by incubation with an LDH substrate combined with tetra-nitro-blue-tetrazolium. The reduction of the latter to the purple formazan is quantitatively related to the enzyme activity. Quantitative determination of the individual colored areas is performed by densitometry.

Abstract A precise automated procedure developed for determination of serum lactate dehydrogenase, using the Robot Chemist, measures absorbance of a cuprous-neo-cuproine complex formed by coupled reduction of the cupric-neocuproine reagent with enzymatically generated reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Activity values obtained by this method, by the identical automated colorimetric method on the AutoAnalyzer, and by an automated spectrophotometric (34O-mµ) procedure show excellent agreement.

Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme activity is usually assessed, after the isoenzymes have been separated, by reactions involving lactate as the substrate. We describe a method for their assessment with pyruvate as the substrate. Precision is adequate as compared to the conventional methodology. Application of this type of approach (measurement of a decrease in fluorescence) to determination of other serum isoenzymes is briefly described.

AbstractIn this study we examined the serum activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzyme patterns in 28 calves of a lowland black spotted breed and its crossbreeds at the age of 2-6 months suffering from clinically noticeable manifested respiratory diseases - bronchopneumonia (BRD Group). As a control group we used 35 clinically healthy calves of the same age, breed and nutrition (Healthy Group). The sick calves did not show clinical signs or pathological lesions on other organ systems. The results found in sick calves showed a significantly higher total activity of LDH than in clinically healthy animals (P<0.01). The mean activity of LDH was 2012 U/l in healthy calves and in calves with respiratory diseases 2529 U/l. The differences in all LDH isoenzyme patterns between both groups of animals were significant (P<0.001) and in calves with respiratory diseases are characterized by a marked increase of the LDH 1 fraction and a decrease in the proportion of the other four LDH isoenzymes. Our results differ from those observed and presented in respiratory diseases in human medicine or in sheep. The explanation for the obtained results in calves and the determination of their diagnostic significance needs further studies and investigations using more animals with various severity of clinical signs and pathological changes, including analysis and determination of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme patterns in healthy and affected cattle lung tissue.

Abstract Triamterene induced spurious elevations in serum lactate dehydrogenase activity, as assayed by an automated fluorometric method; the enzyme activities were normal when measured spectrophotometrically. Solutions of the drug in normal serum or physiological saline, without addition of substrate or coenzyme, yielded high values for apparent "enzyme" activity by the fluorometric assay.
