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.

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 We prospectively studied changes in serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-1 (LD-1, EC 1.1.1.27) in 99 consecutive patients after either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, n = 61), isolated cardiac-valve replacement (n = 24), or the two procedures combined (n = 14); 86 of these had no clinical evidence of peri-operative myocardial infarction (MI). Blood was sampled immediately after surgery and at 6-h intervals for up to 42 h thereafter. LD-1 was isolated by using the LD M-subunit antiserum. Samples from the non-MI patients were used to establish the reference intervals for LD-1. By 24 h after surgery, mean serum LD-1 values were higher (P less than 0.001) in non-MI patients who underwent isolated valve replacement (222 +/- 74 U/L) or combined CABG and valve replacement (266 +/- 58 U/L) than in 50 non-MI patients who underwent CABG alone (134 +/- 42 U/L). Separate reference intervals were determined for CABG and other patients at each sampling time. By 24 h after operation, LD-1 exceeded these reference intervals in the 10 CABG and two combined-procedure patients in whom other evidence of MI was present. Measurement of LD-1 24 to 42 h after cardiac surgery appears to be a useful test for the diagnosis of perioperative MI.

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.
