  • Title: Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in the lungs of sheep with acute and chronic pneumonia.
    Author: Milne EM, Doxey DL.
    Journal: Vet Res Commun; 1984 Aug; 8(3):211-6. PubMed ID: 6495638.
    Abstract:
    Total lactate dehydrogenase and the absolute and percentage levels of its isoenzymes were measured in lung lesions and macroscopically normal areas of lung from lambs with chronic proliferative exudative pneumonia and acute pasteurella pneumonia. Lung lesions had a higher total enzyme activity which was associated mainly with increases in the activity of the LDH4 and LDH5 isoenzymes, particularly in chronic pneumonia, and gave lung lesions a considerable potential for altering the serum isoenzyme distribution. Thus, the nature of any changes in the serum isoenzyme distribution will depend on whether the isoenzymes are released from abnormal or normal areas of lung. This appears to be the first report on lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in ovine pneumonia.
