<P> In the TTC assay ( also known as TTC test or tetrazolium test ) , TTC is used to differentiate between metabolically active and inactive tissues . The white compound is enzymatically reduced to red TPF ( 1 , 3 , 5 - triphenylformazan ) in living tissues due to the activity of various dehydrogenases ( enzymes important in oxidation of organic compounds and thus cellular metabolism ) , while it remains in its unreacted state in areas of necrosis since these enzymes have either denatured or degraded . </P>
