The current study was designed to establish the effect of the sex and BMI on the reference values of serum activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in apparently healthy individuals.

One hundred eighty four apparently healthy subjects were enrolled, including 89 males and 95 females.
