1. Electrophoretic analyses of lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns of three species of temperate fish belonging to family Sciaenidae (order Perciformes) indicates that at least three LDH loci--Ldh-A, Ldh-B and Ldh-C are active. 2. The subunits encoded by these loci occurred at different levels in the different tissues and organs analyzed. 3. The products of these loci show different response to changes in temperature. The results were obtained by electrophoretic analyses. 4. Thermostability of skeletal muscle, heart and eye lactate dehydrogenase incubated at 60 degrees C for different periods of time were examined. 5. Relative activities of LDH isozymes were compared by Klebe's method to determine pattern of divergence of duplicated gene expression in the three species studied.

Glioblastoma(GBM) is a highly malignant primary central nervous system tumor that poses a significant threat to patient survival due to its treatment resistance and rapid recurrence.Current treatment options, including maximal safe surgical resection, radiotherapy, and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, have limited efficacy.In recent years, the role of glycolytic metabolic reprogramming in GBM has garnered increasing attention.

Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an extremely rare type of vasculitis characterized by inflammation within small blood vessels or tissues that may cause damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys, and other organs. Here, we present a rare case of EGPA with cardiac involvement that presented with acute heart failure.

Clinical Findings: A 44-year-old woman with a history of bronchial asthma and sinusitis presented with fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and polyarthritis.

This paper describes a method for determining the cytotoxicity of chemical compounds based on the detection of fluorescent proteins-in this case, green fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP), which are released into the medium from dead cells. This method is similar in principle to the lactate dehydrogenase test (LDH test), but it does not require a reaction with a chromogenic substrate. This method also makes it possible to independently determine the viability of different lines when used in cocultures.

Background: Heart failure (HF) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often face high short-term mortality rates. This study aims to investigate the relationship between lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with HF.

Methods: Data from the MIMIC-IV database were extracted for subjects eligible for HF diagnosis.

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an autosomal recessive disorder with dysregulated glyoxylate metabolism in the liver. Oxalate over-production leads to renal stones, progressive kidney damage and renal failure, with potentially life-threatening systemic oxalosis. Nedosiran is a synthetic RNA interference therapy, designed to reduce hepatic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to decrease oxalate burden in PH.
