As an important enzyme for energy metabolism, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzymes (LDH isoenzymes) have been extensively studied.

Abstract Toward delineation of changes in total lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and in the distribution of LDH isoenzymes as assessed by polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis, we inbucated human and rat sera with various agents, notably sulfhydryl compounds. Although artefacts were apparent when these agents were used without preliminary adjustment of pH, we saw little alteration in total unitage when one or two volumes of serum was mixed with one volume of any of several thiols, especially penicillamine, at an initial concentration of 0.4 mol/liter and pH 7.0-7.5. Under these conditions, penicillamine caused a loss in LDH-5 after incubation for 1 h at 25 degrees C together with small decreases in mobility of the other four isoenzymes toward the anode. A zymosan region appeared below the albumin and tracking dye area. With longer periods of incubation of rat serum with penicillamine or alpha-mercaptosuccinate, a novel band in the zymogram was noted just above the LDH-4 peak. The observations are discussed in terms of allosteric effectors.

Abstract In a study of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme patterns in the sera of patients with severe liver disease, who were primarily selected because of an abnormally high serum bilirubin, 42 of 76 patients had an additional band (LDH-T) between isoenzymes 4 and 5 on acrylamide gel. Thirty of the 42 patients died during followup, 24 within a month of recognition of the extra band.

Abstract Using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve and likelihood ratio analysis, we examined the diagnostic utility of total lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27) activity (I). LD isoenzyme-1 activity (II), and the LD-1 percentage of total LD activity (III), LD-1 LD-2 (IV), and LD-1/LD-4 (V) in 347 persons admitted to the Cardiac Care Unit (of whom 173 were subsequently proven to have had myocardial infarction). Blood was sampled from these subjects at about 6-h intervals for up to 96 h from the onset of chest pain. Defining an "effective" test as one having an area under the ROC curve of greater than or equal to 0.9, we determined the ranked utility (greatest to least) of these tests as V = IV greater than III greater than II greater than I. Tests III, IV, and V had by this criterion, diagnostic effectiveness equivalent to measurements of creatine kinase-2 in serum but in samples obtained at later time intervals. The decision thresholds for both high (constant) test sensitivity and specificity varied with time, to differing extents, over the entire 96-h period, a finding with important diagnostic implications. We document positive and negative likelihood ratio values for each of these tests throughout the entire period of study.

The changes of activity of LDH and its isoenzymatic fractions under load with lead acetate are described. The introduction of a subacute dose of Pb2 + led to a decrease in the LDH activity of the rat liver and an increase in the heart. Preliminary introduction of small doses of Pb2 + partially prevents increased LDH activity in the heart and completely inhibits its increase in the liver. The proportion of urea-stable fraction in the heart and blood serum is significantly increased, indicating an increase in the aerobic direction of energy metabolism. The obtained results are the experimental substantiation of further investigations of influence mechanism of heavy metals on the organism, as well as the motivation to prevent environmental pollution by man-made xenobiotics.
