Assessment of Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in Hydatid Cyst Protoscolices and Liver Tissue as a Pathological Biomarker
Introduction: Hydatid cyst disease is caused by the protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme is required for metabolism, physiology, immunology, and nutrients absorption in parasite. The aim of this study was to compare the level of ALP activity (as a pathological biomarker) in hydatid cyst protoscolices (HCP) with that of sheep liver tissue and to determine t...
متن کاملAlkaline phosphatase activity in symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) as a biological indicator of environmental phosphate exposure
Alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) is an indicator of phosphorus status in marine plants. We examined APA in the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium bermudense, which occurs with the sea anemone Aiptasia pallida. We have developed an assay for APA that serves as a biological indicator of inorganic phosphate (Pi) exposure in coral reef environments and phosphorus deficiency in zooxanthellae. ...
متن کاملCord Blood Alkaline Phosphatase as an Indicator of Neonatal Jaundice
BACKGROUND Management of hyperbilirubinemia remains a challenge for neonatal medicine because of the risk of neurological complications related to the toxicity of severe hyperbilirubinemia. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of cord blood alkaline phosphatase level for predicting neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between October and December 201...
متن کاملPhytoplankton as bio-indicator of water quality in Sefid Rud River, Iran (South of Caspian Sea)
Phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. Phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. In the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the Sefid ...
متن کاملThe alkaline phosphatase content of human milk.
The possibility that enzyme systems normally present in breast milk may account for the superiority of this food over pasteurized formulas in promoting the health and nutrition of the newborn infant has been the subject of speculation and study. Of the many enzymes present in milk, some attention has been directed to lysozyme (1, 2), lipase (3, 4)) and phosphatase (5-7) as substances which may ...
