[Investigations on the distribution of serum LDH isoenzymes of patients with carcinoma laryngis (author's transl)].
The distribution of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes in healthy blood donors and in patients suffering histological identified tumor (neoplasms) laryngis was investigated. The values of 110 healthy persons (controls) proved to be comparable with the average data described in literature. The LDH distribution pattern of 90 tumour affected persons showed significant differences comparing with controls. The alteration appears as absolute increase in LDH-1 (H4) isoenzyme parallel with progressive decrease in the hybrid enzyme rations containing M subunits (LDH-2, LDH-3, LDH-4), and the LDH-5 consisting of four M sununits was undetectable. The conclusions drawn from our investigations seem to be in agreement with Warburg's conception, supposing that in malignant tumours the aerob glycolysis increases. The determination of LDH isoenzyme distributions for diagnostic purposes in clinical practice is recommended.
