The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different chemical feed phosphates on the blood biochemical indicators and the content of main minerals of bones in finishing pigs. Over a period of 85 days of fattening, monocalcium (MCP, Finnish product), dicalcium (DCP, Polish product) and calcium-sodium (CSP, Russian product) phosphates were used in fattener feeding. The feeding was ...

As phosphate derivatives form such important intermediates between the functioning of tissues and the metabolism which supports function, we decided to investigate the levels of certain phosphates in brain slices before and during metabolism in vitro. Investigation of this type appeared all the more necessary because there is now an extremely interesting group of observations on the levels of p...

Pirie, van Heyningen & Flanders (1955) showed that the concentrations of certain acid-soluble phosphates in the lens, when estimated by the enzymic method of Slater (1953), were much lower than the concentrations reported by Nordmann & Mandel (1952), who used the barium-fractionation method of LePage (1948, 1949). This method has, until recently, been the accepted and standard one for estimatio...

conclusions in critically ill patients, the symptoms of hypophosphatemia may not be apparent, but clinicians should be vigilant about this complication during therapy. in cases of severe symptoms (e.g., cardiopulmonary distress, anemia and thrombocytopenia, or rhabdomyolysis), phosphate therapy under close surveillance is warranted. introduction although asymptomatic hypophosphatemia is a commo...

Plastids are the site of the reductive and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathways, which both generate pentose phosphates as intermediates. A plastidic transporter from Arabidopsis has been identified that is able to transport, in exchange with inorganic phosphate or triose phosphates, xylulose 5-phosphate (Xul-5-P) and, to a lesser extent, also ribulose 5-phosphate, but does not accept ribos...

The recognition in the early 1960s by Morifusa Eto that tri-o-cresyl phosphate (TOCP) is hydroxylated by the cytochrome P450 system to an intermediate that spontaneously cyclizes to a neurotoxic phosphate (saligenin phosphate ester) ignited the interest in this group of compounds. Only the ortho isomer can cyclize and clinically cause Organo Phosphate Induced Delayed Neurotoxicity (OPIDN); the ...
