Lipoamide dehydrogenase was identified in cultured skin fibroblasts of normal individuals and patients with Friedreich's ataxia. The optimum conditions for its assay were defined. Data disclosed a normal range of 36--122 mumol/min/mg protein in control fibroblasts and 61--112 mumol/min/mg protein in patients fibroblasts. Numerous precautions should be taken in handling fibroblast cultures for lipoamide dehydrogenase determination.
