To investigate the relationship between serum lipids and alkaline phosphatase during normal pregnancy, we measured triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol concentrations and alkaline phosphatase activity in serum samples from 546 apparently healthy pregnant, postpartum, and nonpregnant women. Serum HDL-cholesterol levels did not change significantly during pregnanc...

This study was aimed to determine the alkaline phosphatase activity following time course (days) in the intestine of broilers. We used a sample of 54 subjects of broilers from hatching period to 56th day of age. Our finding showed a significant increase in the alkaline phosphatase activity at various levels in the different intestinal segments during the first two weeks of life and then decreas...

Bone marrow transplant recipients may be at increased risk of osteoporosis. In a cross-sectional study we therefore measured two biochemical markers of bone turnover, bone alkaline phosphatase and the C-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, in 22 serum samples from 9 patients before allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and 85 serum samples from 14 patients after allogeneic bone marrow tr...

The interactions of Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ ions in the activation of non-specific tissue alkaline phosphatase were investigated using crude extracts of rat kidney. Activation of alkaline phosphatase by the metal ions was accompanied by changes in the kinetic parameters of pnitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis. The results suggest some synergistic interactions between Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ ions in promoting the h...

A number of new binuclear complexes have been synthesised by interaction of stable Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal chelates of p-Methylisonitroacetosophenone with Alkaline earth metal salts having general formula[Ma(p-MeINAP)2MbL2 or MbX2]where Ma=Ni(II) or Cu(II),p-MeINAP = deprotonated pMethyiIsonitrosoacetophenone, Mb= Ca ++ or Mg ++ ,L = deprotonated ortho amino benzoic acid and 8hydroxyquinoline X...
