This paper reports the in vitro inhibition of LDH activity with increasing concentration of TBT. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) added to the LDH-A"4 isoenzyme prior to the addition of TBT was able to protect enzyme activity against inhibition by this toxicant. The observed protection of LDH-A"4 activity increased with increasing BSA concentration in the incubation medium. The results suggest that the presence of BSA could protect LDH activity from direct binding of TBT to LDH.
