When cells are damaged, the altered membrane permeability allows LDH to be released from the cells into the culture medium. In the process of catalyzing lactate, the released LDH converts the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) into the reduced form (NADH); NADH then reduces iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) to a colored formazan compound via the hydrogen carrier phenazine methosulfate (PMS). This compound has an absorption peak at 490 nm, so cell damage (necrosis) can be assessed from the absorbance value.
