Studies on Lactate Dehydrogenase of Ovary in Normal, Alloxan-Induced Diabetics and Pyllanthus amarus Administered Mice

Five lactate dehydrogenase fraction were found in ovarian tissue and they were named LDH1, LDH2, LDH3, LDH4 and LDH5. The activities of these fractions were 11%, 31%, 12%, 17% and 39%, respectively. LDH pattern of ovary showed significant change in the number of the fractions in alloxan induced diabetic mice. There were seven fractions compared to five fractions in control animals. One new fraction appeared between LDH4 and LDH5. The activity of LDHl increased to 18%, LDH2 to 35%, LDH3 to 18%. The activity of other fractions decreased.
