Lactate dehydrogenase‐X: an isozyme particularly sensitive to gossypol inhibition

Wung‐Wai Tso, Chi‐Sing Lee

Abstract

The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (all isozymes and isozyme‐X alone) in the presence of a wide range of gossypol were examined in ejaculated mature boar spermatozoa. It was found that LDH‐X, a characteristic isozyme located mainly in primary spermatocytes, is more sensitive than the other isozymes to gossypol inhibition. Its possible role in the male antifertility effect of gossypol is discussed.
