Values for total lactate dehydrogenase (LD, EC 1.1.1.27) and LD isoenzyme-5 were determined in serum of 106 patients with benign hepatic disorders, 54 of whom had acute liver disorders, either acute hepatitis (39 patients) or acute circulatory disturbances (15 patients). Fifty-two had chronic hepatic disorders, either cirrhosis (25 patients) or chronic right heart failure (27 patients). Overall...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are important organelles in energy metabolism and lipid storage. Their cores are composed of neutral lipids that form a hydrophobic phase and are surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer that harbors specific proteins. Most well-established LD proteins perform important functions, particularly in cellular lipid metabolism. Morphological studies show LDs in close proximity to ...

If there were enzymatically inactive B subunits in a solution containing lactate dehydrogenase (LD) B4 prepared from the hemolysates of heterozygous individuals with LD-B subunit deficiency, the inactive subunits would compete with normal subunits for antibodies to the B4 subunit. Using the activity of normal LD-B4 as an index, we could ascertain the proportion of free antigen (LD-B4) and antib...

background: one of the biggest problem today that most developing countries are faced with is the uncontrolled population growth; a serious threat to the international community. one of the most accessible contraceptive methods is the hormonal methods in which low-dose estrogen (ld) combined pills are considered as the most common among them. the most important reason for discontinuation of the...

In this research, we propose a novel method of monitoring and tracking pedestrians in wide and open area, such as shopping mall and exhibition hall, using a number of laser range scanners (LD-A). LD-A, produced by IBEO Lasertechnik, is a single-row type laser range scanner with a high profiling rate of lOHz and wide viewing angle of 270 degree. LD-As are set on the ground doing horizontal scann...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical value and reproducibility of laser Doppler (LD) versus photoplethysmography (PPG) in the measurement of the systolic toe blood pressure. METHODS Toe blood pressure was measured in 60 patients in different stages of peripheral vascular disease with simultaneous digital sampling of PPG and two LD signals, each with a different fil...

OBJECTIVES Extended-release (ER) carbidopa-levodopa (CD-LD) (IPX066/RYTARY/NUMIENT) produces improvements in "off" time, "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia, and Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale scores compared with immediate-release (IR) CD-LD or IR CD-LD plus entacapone (CLE). Post hoc analyses of 2 ER CD-LD phase 3 trials evaluated whether the efficacy and safety of ER CD-LD relat...

We evaluated a method of measuring lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 (LD-1) selectively (Clin Chem 1987;33:991-2), in which all other LD isoenzymes were inhibited by adding sodium perchlorate to the reaction medium to a final concentration of 0.825 mol/L. In this study we used the different isoenzymes purified from human autopsy tissue and found that the originally published amount of inhibitor...
