Kinetic determination of serum sorbitol dehydrogenase activity with a centrifugal analyzer.

Abstract:

:We describe a mechanized method for centrifugal analyzer determination of sorbitol dehydrogenase in serum, based on conversion of D-fructose to sorbitol with simultaneous oxidation of NADH, in triethanolamine buffer at pH 7.4 and 30 degrees C. The standard curve for this assay is linear to 200 U of activity per liter of serum. The mean within-run precision (CV) of the assay is 0.8%. Results correlate well with those by a spectrophotometric method. In sera from 20 apparently healthy adult humans, sorbitol dehydrogenase activity averaged 1.7 (SD +/- 0.8; range, 1-3) U/L. The mean activity (U/L) for a group of 30 rats was 4.4 (SD, +/- 0.2; range, 3-6); for 20 dogs, 5.8 (SD, +/- 0.7; range 3-9); and for 30 mice, 26.8 (SD +/- 2.1; range, 22-34). To determine the utility of measuring this enzyme in the serum of rats for assessment of hepatotoxicity in drug-safety studies, we compared sorbitol dehydrogenase activity with that of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotranferase in the sera of rats treated with thioacetamide or in which the common bile duct has been ligated.
