Metalloenzymes and Myocardial Infarction: Malic and Lactic Dehydrogenase Activities and Zinc Concentrations in Serum

Wacker, Warren E. C., Ulmer, David D., Vallee, Bert L.·1956·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

PREVIOUS studies in this laboratory have shown that the concentration of copper in serum is considerably increased after acute myocardial infarction.1 This change is proportional to an increase in ceruloplasmin, the copper protein of human serum, and its capacity to oxidize paraphenylenediamine.2 In the pursuit of these studies, the concentration of zinc and the activity of zinc enzymes in human serum have been found to be altered markedly in myocardial necrosis.Lactic dehydrogenase has recently been shown to be a zinc enzyme,3 and malic dehydrogenase also appears to be a metalloenzyme.4 These enzymes require coenzyme 1 (diphosphopyridine nucleotide) for their . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
