A method for the measurement of specific lactate radioactivity in biological samples is presented. It is based on the following steps: (a) enzymatic conversion of lactate to pyruvate, (b) pyruvate conversion to 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone, (c) concentration-separation of the latter in reusable Amberlite XAD-7 polymeric adsorbent columns, and finally (d) estimation of the radioactivity thus retained compared with that of enzymatically untreated aliquots of the same samples. Specificity was ensured by the use of lactate dehydrogenase as specific recognizing agent for lactic acid. No interference from glucose, lactate, or amino acids was observed. The method presented is simple and can be applied in routine multiple estimations of lactic acid radioactivity in conjunction with the enzymatic measurement of lactate in biological samples in tracer metabolic studies.
