Abstrakt: LDH activity in gastric juice was high in all cases of carcinoma of the stomach investigated provided that the pH of the resting gastric juice was above 5·0. No LDH activity could be detected in gastric aspirate, whether from patients with carcinoma of the stomach or not, when the pH of the resting juice was below 5·0. LDH activity in gastric juice is rapidly and irreversibly inactivated by hydrochloric acid at a pH of 4·5 to 5·0.
