Stabilization and preservation of serum prostatic acid phosphatase activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effects of pH and temperature of storage on the stability of the prostatic fraction of serum acid phosphataseactivity have been studied in order to providea satisfactory method for the preservation of activity in serumsshipped from other hospitals.Addition of citrate tablets of a composition to buffer the serums at pH 6.2 was found to preserve the original activity at 25#{176} for at least 7 days. These results were validated on a series of serums, subdivided into control and citrate-containing aliquots, shipped from the participating hospitals.

P-10: Effects of Cadmium on Reproductive Enzymes of Blood and Reproductive Tissues in Adult Male Mice
Background: Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd2+) are natural components of the Earth's crust which can not be degraded or destroyed. Industrial, mining and agricultural activities, particularly the excessive use of phosphate fertilizers, have led to high levels of cadmium contamination at many locations worldwide. Some toxic effects of cadmium are due to its inhibition of various enzyme sys...

BACKGROUND: Clinical prostatic diseases occur in 80% of dogs over 5 and 95% over 9 years of age. . It seems that benign prostatic hyperplasia) BPH) affect Scottish terriers more severely than the other breeds. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the changes of biochemical and hematological parameters in BPH dogs. METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 10 male dogs older than five year...
متن کاملProstatic acid phosphatase in serum of patients with prostatic cancer is a specific phosphotyrosine acid phosphatase.
We developed an assay to measure at acid pH the phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity in sera from patients with prostatic cancer. The method used quantifies the inorganic phosphate liberated from phosphotyrosine after incubation with serum, followed by the deproteinization of the reaction mixture. A high acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) activity towards phosphotyrosine was observed in all sera fro...

Human serum contains a mixture of phosphomonoesterases derived from several types of cells with optimum activity at pH 5.0. Clinical assay methods in current use have been developed pri marii}7 to measure acid phosphatases of prostatic origin in metastatic prostatic cancer (10, 11, 15, 30, 34), although increased serum acid phosphatase activity has been noted in patients with neo plasms dissemi...

They found that serum acid phosphatase activity markedly increased in patients with prostate carcinoma, especially in those with bone metastasis. Elevated serum acid phosphatase activity has been reported in 70 to 90% of the patients w...
