Abstract
1.1. Plasma LDH levels are described for fifteen species of Mustelidae and two Viverridae. All species except Lutra canadensis had LDH activities two to four times higher than the human plasma control.2.2. Conepatus leuconotus (Mustelidae) and Arctictis binturong (Viverridae) were the only species examined with an LDH-1 mobility different from the human LDH-1, at 94 and 60 per cent of the control, respectively.3.3. The LDH-5 mobility of all of the carnivores was the same, and greater than that of the human control.4.4. Plasma LDH of L. canadensis and Aonyx cinerea were almost entirely in the form of LDH-1 isozyme.5.5. Some species had a unique LDH isozyme composition which easily distinguished them from other species of the family.
