In this study, changes in the activities of serum total and prostatic acid phosphatase (TACP and PACP, respectively), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma( )-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and testosterone level were assessed in male rats exposed wholly to 17.8±2.6cm hrkgm day of gasoline vapours (8 hours daily, 6 days/week) for 20 weeks in exposure chambers. The results showed that exposure to gasolin...

Running at 0.7 km/h for 10 min every day inhibited development of osteoporosis caused by protein deficient (PD) food intake. Urine alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a marker of bone formation osteoporosis, was not elevated in rats fed PD, when the osteoporosis was inhibited by running. Estrogen supplementation increased bone-breaking energy (BBE), but did not increase bone mineral density (BMD), and ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The present constituents of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) can reflect the changes occurring in underlying tissues. Considering variety of biologic bone markers, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase have been examined as bone turn over markers in orthodontic tooth movement. PURPOSE The current study designed in a longitudinal pattern to determine the changes of ...

Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) precipitates bone type serum alkaline phosphatase (sALP) isoenzyme specifically. The precipitates are composed of the macromolecules of WGA and "bone type sALP" (WGA-ALP complex). In order to use bone type sALP as a marker in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), a method to separate "bone type sALP" from the "WGA-ALP complex" was established by using N-acetyl-D...

A modified agarose electrophoretic system for the separation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP, EC 3.1.3.1) isoenzymes is described. Bone, liver, high-molecular-mass, and intestinal ALP are separated with high reproducibility. The sensitivity of the agarose system is superior to cellulose acetate in detecting high-Mr ALP. Correlation is good between bone ALP fractions scanned before and after treatm...

Reaching the differential diagnosis of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis can be difficult due to granulomatous inflammation. Determining alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in serum for sarcoidosis. This study comprised 104 acid-fast bacilli (AFB) positive patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, 90 biopsy-proven 43 healthy controls were included. ALP was measured at first admission patients. There a s...

To characterize serum constituents in blood in response to cold exposure, we measured serum inorganic phosphate (Pi) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. After 30 min exposure of cold, the serum Pi and alkaline phosphatase levels were 3.4 ± 0.06 mg/l and 72.33 ± 0.45 μmole/l respectively where as the control levels of these constituents are 3.05 ± 0.03 mg/l and 84 μmole/l respectively. Cold e...

Serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase ( G G T ), alkaline phosphatase (A L P ) and aspartate aminotransferase (A ST) were assayed in patients with cancer. GGT was more sensitive than either ALP or AST in detecting metastatic car­ cinoma to the liver in both icteric and anicteric patients with cancer. Extremely high activities of GGT were seen in patients with hepatoma, carcinoma of the pancreas a...
