Antileukoprotease (ALP), or secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor, is an endogenous inhibitor of serine proteinases that is present in various external secretions. ALP, one of the major inhibitors of serine proteinases present in the human lung, is a potent reversible inhibitor of elastase and, to a lesser extent, of cathepsin G. In equine neutrophils, an antimicrobial polypeptide that has s...

A bstract The plethora of increasingly precise experiments which hunt for axion-like particles (ALPs), as well their widely different energy reach, call the theoretical understanding ALP couplings at loop-level. We derive one-loop contributions to ALP-SM effective couplings, including finite corrections. complete leading-order — dimension five linear Lagrangian is considered. left off-shell, pa...

BACKGROUND High levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been associated with increased mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). We hypothesize that elevated ALP could be partly explained by subclinical liver congestion related to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. METHODS Doppler echocardiography was performed in 68 patients with advanced CKD followed up for a ...

We investigated the prevalence and characteristics of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) identified in human serum by cellulose acetate electrophoresis in 8% of fasting serum samples from hospital patients (n = 500) and in 35% of fasting serum samples from patients with diabetes mellitus (n = 106; not differentiated between types 1 and 2). The intestinal ALP electrophoretic band ...

Axion-Like-Particles are among the most economical and well motivated extensions of Standard Model. In this work ALP production from hadronic leptonic meson decays studied. The hadronization part these decay amplitudes have been obtained using Brodsky-Lepage method or LQCD, at needs. particular, general expressions for emission in mesonic s- t-channel tree-level processes thoroughly discussed, ...

BACKGROUND It is demonstrated that elevated serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphate indicate a higher risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality in population with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but it remains unclear whether this association exists in people with normal or preserved renal function. METHOD Clinical trials were searched from Embase and PubMed fro...
