A study of the distribution of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes in single fibers from normal human skeletal muscle is presented. The fibers were classified into red, intermediate and white types on histochemical grounds and their lactate dehydrogenase isozyme content assessed by electrophoretic separation in veronal buffered agar. The results generally agreed with previous homogenate studies on animal skeletal muscle, in that the white fibers contained almost exclusively isozymes IV and V, whereas red fibers were rich in isozymes I, II and III, but IV and V also appeared indigenous to these fibers. The intermediate fibers had an isozyme pattern combining the features of red and white fibers. The metabolic implications of these findings are discussed.

Biochemical changes in the liver, kidneys and gills of rosy barbs due to toxicity of CCl4 were measured after 96 hour exposure. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinin (CRN), levels were measured. Significant increase in ALP, ALT, LDH and BUN activities were observed in the liver in the treated groups compared to controls (P < 0.05). AST level was significantly higher in the kidneys. This study indicates that the enzymatic activity was comparatively higher in the liver than kidneys or gills, suggesting that the liver is the target organ of CCL4 toxicity to rosy barbs.Keywords: Toxicity, Rosy Barb, CCl4doi:10.3126/on.v3i1.330Our Nature (2005)5:20-25

A new improved method to quantitate the amount of the isozymes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been devised. The method is sensitive and very reproducible. This method has been employed for studies on LDH isozymes during thyroxine-induced tadpole metamorphosis. Only one isozyme is present in tadpole liver whereas three isozymes are present in tadpole tail and brain. Thyroxine treatment produced a decrease of the total LDH activity of tadpole liver, tail, and brain; however, the relative amount of the isozyme F3 in tail and brain is the only fraction which shows a decrease. The F1 and F2 fractions show an increase in relative amount. Thalidomide has no influence on the isozyme pattern of LDH in thyroxine-induced metamorphosis of the tadpole.
