dc.description.abstract	Nitrogen dioxide and nitrite toxicity were investigated using lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase as indicators of cell damage. Lung tissue enzyme levels were concurrently studied to assess enzyme release. No change occurred in pyruvate kinase or lactate dehydrogenase activities during exposure to 2 ppm nitrogen dioxide or 2% nitrite. Pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase activities varied greatly in control animals and, therefore, were poor indicators of cell damage in rabbits.	en
