Fig. 6. Temperature dependence of
of lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) in crude homogenates prepared from muscle (circles) and liver
(triangles) of cod (Gadus morhua) acclimated to different
temperatures. Two-phase linear regression analysis of the temperature
dependence of
reveals
that at temperatures below 16±1°C (shaded area) the
is almost independent of
temperature (the slope of the curve is
0.003 mmol l1
deg.). Values are means ± S.E.M. (N=21 for 4°C
and N=15 for 12°C). ns, not significant. The dotted line
indicates the upper border of data accepted for regression analysis.
