title: [Histochemical localization of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) during cartilaginous cell differentiation in pleurodeles (Pleurodeles waltlii Michah].
abstract: As revealed in chondrogenetic cells the LDH activity that is very low during cellular migration, suddenly increases at the time of cytodifferentiation and reaches a peak at the onset of the first chondrocyte differentiation. A relationship is likely to exist between this increase in LDH-activity, chondroitin-sulfate synthesis and NAD metabolism.
