phatase may reflect enzyme contributions from bone, liver, and intestine. We have investigated serum alkaline phosphatases in two siblings with hypophosphatasia. After administration of long-chain triglycerides, the major alkaline phosphatase component of their sera was shown to be of intestinal origin on the basis of inhibition by l-phenylalanine. Starch block electrophoresis suggested that th...

the activity of mouse endometrial alkaline phosphatase after hyperstimulation and progesterone injection at the implantation time alkaline phosphatase (alp) of endometrium may play a critical function in the development and implantation of embryo. the aim of this study was to determine the localization of endometrial alp activity after hyperstimulation and progesterone injection. thirty adult f...

background: the problem of bone defects during treatments of bone lesions, especially cranial trauma, and also during craniotomy operations indicates isolation of osteoblasts and culturing them for filling these bone effects. methods: bone tissue specimens were obtained from 6 patients’ carvaria undergoing craniotomy surgery operations in al-zahra teaching hospital and transferred to lab. these...

background: the present study was carried out on the human population of kashmir valley to evaluate the status of the biochemical parameters of infected population. materials and methods: blood samples were collected from 514 individuals, 298 (57.97%) males and 216 (42.02%) females, 187 (36.38%) were found sero-positive for human toxocariasis. results: alkaline phosphatase level was found highe...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the extracted (es) and mechanical (ms) soybean meals two levels 25% and 35% in broiler chicken feeding. three hundred and fifty two one-day-old unsexed lohman chickens were placed in four treatments by 4 replicates and 22 chickens in each in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. feed intake was increased significantly in starter period by es in comparison with ms....

objective: osteoporosis or silent disease is a major bone disorder in elderly women in current century. estrogen has an important role in osteogenesis and prevention of bone fractures. hormone replacement therapy (hrt) is usually accompanied by such effects as breast and ovary cancers. thus, there is an increasing demand for replacement with plant phytoestrogens. this study is focused on determ...

A B S T R A C T We studied the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on mammalian growth-plate cartilage in vitro. Growth-plate cartilages from fetal pigs scapulae were incubated for 3 or 7 d in serum-free medium alone or medium containing T3. Alkaline phosphatase activity, a marker of hypertrophied chondrocytes, was increased in T3 (10 nM)-treated growth-plate cartilage 152±36% above that of cartila...

The role of oxygen availability in determining the local physiological activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing in biofilms was investigated. Biofilms grown in an ambient-air environment expressed approximately 1/15th the alkaline phosphatase specific activity of planktonic bacteria subjected to the same phosphate limitation treatment. Biofilms grown in a gaseous environment of pure oxygen ex...

Phosphatase activities were compared quantitatively among selected species of pseudomonads. P. pseudomallei showed the highest activity of a bell-shaped pH pattern with a peak at around pH 5.0. P. cepacia had a similar pattern of milder intensity. In contrast, P. aeruginosa revealed an alkaline phosphatase activity with a pH optimum higher than 8.0, but the level of activity was much lower than...
