Urinary alanine aminopeptidase activity in various urinary tract diseases.
نویسنده
چکیده
The value of assaying urinary alanine aminopeptidase activity was examined. The activity of normal urine was below 2 IU/1. High urinary alanine aminopeptidase was found to suggest the presence of nephritis, pyelonephritis, or other nephrotoxic processes.

An optimized assay of alanine aminopeptidase activity in urine.
Elaboration of an optimized kinetic test for urinary alanine aminopeptidase at 37 degrees C is described. As final concentrations, 50 mmol/L tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane x HCl buffer, pH 7.8, and 2 mmol/L alanine-4-nitroanilide are proposed. Five- to sixfold activitiy is obtained as compared with a generally used test procedure. Coefficients of variation for the method (within-run and betwee...

متن کاملEffects of exposure to low levels of environmental cadmium on renal biomarkers.
We conducted a study among residents of a small community contaminated with heavy metals from a defunct zinc smelter and residents from a comparison community to determine whether biologic measures of cadmium exposure were associated with biomarkers of early kidney damage. Creatinine-adjusted urinary cadmium levels did not differ between the smelter and comparison communities; thus we combined ...

Antibiotics are the best known products of actinomycete. Over 5,000 antibiotics have been identified from the cultures of Gram positive and Gram-negative organisms, and filamentous fungi, but only about 100 antibiotics have commercially been used to treat human, animal and plant diseases. The genus, Streptomycete, is responsible for the formation of more than 60% of known antibiotics. Bacteri...

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate urinary excretion of three brush border enzymes: gamma-glutamyl transferase, alanine aminopeptidase, and leucyl aminopeptidase in pregnant women with various types of hypertensive disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 120 pregnant women, further subdivided into four groups: 41 women at ≥ 20 weeks gestation with gestational hypertens...
