Abstract
Measurement of metabolites in the cardiac muscle of rabbits at different stages of myocardial infarction showed elevated levels of intermediate metabolic products with marked acidic properties in the infarcted area as well as in the adjacent and more distant (apparently intact) areas. Introduction of exogenous lactate dehydrogenase into the circulation led to enhanced metabolic processes in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. This suggests that lactate dehydrogenase may be recommended for use as an agent helping to normalize oxidative processes, compensate for energy deficiency, and correct metabolism in tissues.
