Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme. It is not a base. Lactate, or lactic acud, is what is found in fermented milk. There is no connection between the lactate found in skeletal muscle and that found in fermented milk.

I got rid of that. Please note that the image is temporarily incorrect (no covalent double bond between C2 and its ketone group in pyruvate), but the wiki will figure out that I uploaded something better. JFW | T@lk 11:47, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Conversion of lactate to pyruvate

I am wondering which LDH isoenzyme catalyzes the conversion of lactate to pyruvate and if it differs among tissues.I know that LDH5 cant do it due to the 4 M subunits it contains.

Question: how does LDH is measured?
