LDH assay LDH assay was performed in culture medium of untreated confluent cells by using a commercial kit (Sclavo Diagnostics, Siena) based on the transformation of pyruvate to lactate by LDH, at pH 7.5, in the presence of NADH coenzyme. The transformation of NADH to NAD+ is accompanied by a decrease in absorbance (A) at 340 nm, which correlates with the LDH activity. The change of absorbance, in th......阅读全文
