    enzyme that converts lactate to pyruvate in cells

    Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in converting sugar into energy for cells, particularly during anaerobic respiration when oxygen levels are low. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or disease, as it is released from cells into the bloodstream when they are damaged.
