title: [Activity of blood serum lactate dehydrogenase in diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The activity of lactic dehydrogenase of the blood serum was studied under clinical conditions in 120 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. Electrophoretic separation of plasma enzymes was used for this purpose. The shifts in the LDH activity proved to be characteristic of all the degrees of diabetes severity, and were expressed in a significant elevation of total LDH, LDH4,5 activity and a decrease of LDH1,2 activity in comparison with healthy individuals. No change of LDH3 activity was noted in mild forms of diabetes. But in severe form the isoenzymatic spectrum was mostly changed on account of LDH3 hyperfermentemia. In mild form of diabetes it approached control values.
