“…It is difficult to know the reason for the changes of TEA, it is likely to have been influenced by the instability of any of the various enzymes that integrate in this total activity ( 8 ). Lactate dehydrogenase results in our study were similar to other reports that showed a significant decrease of this enzyme in saliva after only 30 min, 3 days and 2 weeks of storage at - 20 ºC ( 2 , 3 , 22 ). These results could be due to the lability of the LD-4 and LD-5 isoenzymes at - 20 ºC ( 28 ).…”

“…Then, 100 μL of NADH (at a final concentrate of 0.08 mM) was added just before the change in absorbance observed after 3 minutes using a U-2910 spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Technologies Corp., Tokyo, Japan). 14 The results were expressed in IU/L.…”

“…The activity of LDH obtained in this study was considerably higher ( p < 0.05) in patients suffering from peptic ulcers ( Table 2). The centrifuged saliva samples were stored at 4 C until use since a gradual degradation of LDH may occur when stored at À20 C. 27 It has been shown that LDH activity in saliva of adults is almost similar to that of young volunteers. 28,29 We also observed that there was no change in LDH activity when various ages were compared, but due to small size of subjects it cannot be conclusive.…”
