Abstract:
An automated single reagent micro-assay for the determination of sorbitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.14) catalytic activity concentration in mouse plasma was developed for the Abbott Bichromatic Analyzer (ABA-100). The kinetic rate determination was linear up to 250 U/l, had a CV of 2.65%, and required only 25 microliters of sample. Experimentally induced hepatotoxicity in the mouse by acetaminophen produced a dose dependent increase in blood sorbitol dehydrogenase activity.
