Biochemical Changes of the Synovial Liquid of Corpses with Regard to the Cause of Death. 2: Alkaline Phosphatase, Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LDH), and Glutamic Oxalacetic Transaminase (GOT)

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

We studied the activity of various enzymes in the synovial liquid of 100 corpses with regard to the cause of death finding that the alkaline phospatase and glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) are increased in cranioencephalic trauma, possibly as a result of the important cellular lysis which goes with them; and lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH) is increased in the pulmonary processes, almost certainly with relation to the great quantity of this enzyme in the lung.
