Creatine phosphokinase activity in rabbit alveolar macrophages.
An enzyme is present in extracts of rabbit alveolar macrophage which can catalyze the reaction of creatine phosphate with adenosine diphosphate to form adenosine triphosphate and creatine. The enzyme is moderately activated by reduced glutathione, has a pH optimum between pH 6.5 and 7.0, and shows an absolute requirement for Mg(2+). The K(m) for creatine phosphate is approximately 3.6 mm while ...
متن کاملSerum creatine phosphokinase activity in acute psychosis.
During the last 7 years, there have been a number of investigations of the incidence of various types of neuromuscular dysfunction in patients with schizophrenic and affective illnesses and their first-degree relatives in comparison with appropriate controls, including nonpsychotic psychiatric patients. Before reviewing these studies, it may be of value to discuss why neuromuscular dysfunction ...
متن کاملCreatine phosphokinase activity during lithium treatment.
In a group of patients suffering from manic depressive illness treated with lithium carbonate occasional large increases in creatine phosphokinase (C.P.K.) activity were seen. These were found to occur at times when the patients were stable in mood and clinically well. The serum lithium levels were adequate in all cases at the time of raised C.P.K. activity. Raised C.P.K. activity can be an ind...
متن کاملDepressed myocardial creatine phosphokinase activity following experimental myocardial infarction in rabbit.
Since creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is found predominantly in myocardial and skeletal muscle cells, in contrast to cells participating in the inflammatory response, it was considered likely that measurement of activity of this enzyme in the heart would provide a sensitive and relatively specific index of the extent of ischemic injury following acute coronary artery occlusion. Accordingly, CPK ac...
متن کاملPlasma Creatine Phosphokinase in Schizophrenia
Plasma creatine phosphokinase (GPK) was estimated from unmedicated schizophrenics to evaluate its significance in the diagnosis. The mean value of CPK in schizophrenics is 78.41±5.78 IU/L (n=49) as against control value of 27.45±2.27 IU/L (n = 36). The statistical analysis showed significance (p<0.05). The study finds its importance in view of the earlier reports suggesting the diagnostic value...
