The D 9 8 / A H 2 cell line (a subline of HeLa) expresses a form of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) which closely resembles the adult and fetal intestinal forms of ALP. To character ize this ectopic form of ALP, four monocIonal antibodies were raised against D 9 8 / A H 2 ALP, and their binding with ALPs from D 9 8 / AH-2 cells, placenta, fetal intestine (meconium), adult intestine, and liver was co...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy of women in Nigeria. Change in serum levels of some biochemical parameters could assist diagnosis and follow-up of breast cancer. OBJECTIVE To determine serum levels of calcium, inorganic phosphates, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activities in patients with breast cancer, and change in the serum levels over time. M...

Introduction The traditional type is high erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR), generally used for cooking in countries like India and Bangladesh, typically contains between 40% and 50 % erucic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9fatty acid, denoted 22:1 ω-9 has undesirable effects on healthspecially on cardiac tissue (Kramer et al., 1982). The normal level of AST, ALT and ALP in rat blood is 45.7-80.8 U/L, ...

The D98/AH-2 cell line (a subline of HeLa) expresses a form of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) which closely resembles the adult and fetal intestinal forms of ALP. To characterize this ectopic form of ALP, four monoclonal antibodies were raised against D98/AH-2 ALP, and their binding with ALPs from D98/AH-2 cells, placenta, fetal intestine (meconium), adult intestine, and liver was compared using an...

Early treatment of patients with malignant disease and liver or bone metastasis may increase their survival time. We have used the activity patterns of liver and bone isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, to detect early metastasis. We studied ALP isoenzyme patterns in a background population of 101 patients with no evidence of any disease that migh...

Significant decreases in magnesium (Mg) concentration and alkaline phosphatase (ALP, EC 3.1.3.1) activity in serum were seen in patients after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (Group 1), as compared with non-cardiac-surgery patients after general anesthesia (Group 2) or only spinal anesthesia (Group 3). Mean changes for Mg and ALP by the first postoperative day, compared with pre-ope...

Objective Preterm labor is a common health problem with has very serious adverse effects and burden of cost. Early diagnosis of preterm labor may be useful for prevention of its adverse effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), ferritin, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in amniotic fluid in the second trimester of pregnant women for predicting preter...

Levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the hepatic enzyme ALT are used to monitor medication toxicity [1]. ALP is important in osteoarticular processes because, excluding the liver, the highest concentrations of this enzyme can be found in the bone [1, 2]. High doses of clindamycin and first-generation cephalosporins have cytotoxic effects against osteoblasts in vitro [3-5]. The serum c...

Serum enzymes, including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), have recently been reported to play important roles in tumor growth. Increases in LDH and ALP have been confirmed to predict poor prognosis in patients with various cancers. However, their prognostic value in pancreatic cancer has not been well studied. Therefore, we reviewed the preoperative data on LDH and AL...
