title: [The effect of urea on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase from the muscles of swine and skates].
abstract: Urea competitively inhibits the reduction of pyruvate by LDH from pig and skate muscles at pyruvate concentrations up to 1 mM, inhibition constant being equal to 400-500 mM. It increased the value of Michaelis constant for pyruvate, activated both dehydrogenases with a maximum effect near 0.5-0.6 M. The level of activation of LDH from pig muscles was rather stable amounting to 10-20%, whereas it increased for the enzyme of the skate with the increase of pyruvate concentration up to 30 mM. Similarly, although less effectively, both dehydrogenases were activated by KCl solutions.
