The activity of TvLDH was upregulated by sodium nitrate, and the catalytic direction was preferentially toward lactate formation. a The activity of TvLDH of iron-deficient (ID) cells treated with sodium nitrate (25 mM) for 6 h was measured. The activity of TvLDH in the experimental cells relative to that in untreated control cells is shown. b Pyruvate level in ID cells was measured after sodium nitrate (25 mM) treatment for 6 h. The amount of pyruvate in nitrate-treated ID cells relative to that in untreated control cells is shown. c Lactate level in ID cells was measured after sodium nitrate (25 mM) treatment for 6 h. The amount of lactate in nitrate-treated ID cells relative to that in untreated control cells is shown. *** P < 0.001 compared with the untreated control group (0 mM)
