Sensitive method for the measurement of alcohol dehydrogenase activity in human serum by differential-pulse polarography
Abstract
A method is described for the measurement of alcohol dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.1)(ADH) activity in human serum using differential-pulse polarography, based on the measurement of the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in the presence of an excess of ethanol substrate. This method is both sensitive and rapid.
