BACKGROUND. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is common in hematooncologic diseases. The aim of the current study was to determine the diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme analysis for the diagnosis of CNS involvement in hematooncologic patients.

## Abstract The principal enzymes catalyzing the conversion of ethanol to acetate are alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). The activities of these enzymes are elevated in the serum during the course of alcoholism or cirrhosis. In previous investigations we have found eleva
Numerous experiments have shown that alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) play a significant role in the metabolism of many biological substances. Some metabolic disorders that can lead to breast carcinogenesis may be the cause of changes in ADH and ALDH activity. In previou
SOCITRIC dehydrogenase is the enzyme that I catalyzes the transformation of isocitrate into a-ketoglutarate. Wolfson and Williams-Ashman and their collaborators29 3 have demonstrated the presence of this enzyme in human serum and shown that its activity is elevated in cases of hepatitis or metastati
## Abstract An automated method for the quantitative analysis of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was used to analyze CSF samples from 37 patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors and from 13p atients without tumors. The putrescine and spermidi
