This was followed by decreases in fructose levels and increases in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and in lactate levels at 12 h, and decreases in the activities of sorbitol dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase on Day 2.

The effects of mono- and dibutyl phthalate and mono- and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate on energy-dependent K+ uptake, respiration rates, and succinate cytochrome c reductase activities of isolated rat liver mitochondria were evaluated.
It is concluded that phthalate esters affect mitochondrial activities by altering the permeability properties of the inner membrane and by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase activity.
