Lactate dehydrogenase activity and lactate/pyruvate ratio in muscle of thermally acclimated goldfish. 1983

H Yamawaki

1. Some glycolytic metabolites were determined for red muscle (RM) and white muscle (WM) of goldfish acclimated to 10 and 25 degrees C. 2. Lactate/pyruvate (L/P) was higher in RM than in WM. 3. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of RM was slightly more susceptible to inhibition by lactate than WM-LDH. At L/P found in vivo under resting conditions, RM-LDH was about three times as inhibited as WM-LDH. 4. When 25 degrees C-fish were forced to swim at 25 degrees C, the increase of L/P in WM was mainly due to increased lactate level and that in RM was ascribed to decreased pyruvate level. These changes were obscure in 10 degrees C-fish.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007770	L-Lactate Dehydrogenase	A tetrameric enzyme that, along with the coenzyme NAD+, catalyzes the interconversion of LACTATE and PYRUVATE. In vertebrates, genes for three different subunits (LDH-A, LDH-B and LDH-C) exist.	Lactate Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, L-Lactate,Dehydrogenase, Lactate,L Lactate Dehydrogenase
