A simple automated method for the determination of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in serum by the forward lactate → pyruvate reaction is presented. Enzyme activity is determined by measuring the fluorescence of DPNH formed after a fixed incubation time. Detailed studies of various parameters of the reaction, reproducibility, and recovery data, and a comparison with two manual methods for LDH are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
