background: to investigate the effect of cana2-edta and experimental diabetes (iddm) on zinc and carbohydrate metabolism and the activities of got, gpt and alkaline phosphatase. methods: forty male normal albino (wistar) rats of 8 weeks of age were fed with a basal diet. twenty rats were then intraperitoneally injected with alloxan to induce diabetes. then after one week ten rats from each grou...

conclusions the elevation of hmw-alp activity in cu treated animal suggests the occurrence of biliary disease. this may be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of copper toxicity. results obtained data showed that with increasing administration of copper, the alp activity was elevated significantly. in comparison with the control group the elevations were between 20%-56% using gel filtration c...

introduction: salivary calcium and phosphate levels might have a relationship with dental caries severity. evaluation of different indexes such as alkaline phosphatase, which increases salivary phosphate levels, and hydroxyapatite ion activity, which reflects salivary calcium and phosphate levels, might help determine the risk of dental caries. the aim of the present study was to compare saliva...

human brucellosis is a major health problem in developing countries. a number of patients with human brucellosis do not recover from the acute stage of the disease and pass into the chronic form. since the pathophysiology of this change is not well understood, we studied the t-cell subsets during the acute, subacute and chronic forms of human brucellosis. in this study we found alterations in t...

objective: different techniques have been suggested for the repair of bone defects at the injured sites. use of biomembranes, or application of plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) at the site of proliferation of osteoblasts are among the suggested techniques. the current study aimed to compare the biocompatibility of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hplf) cultured on hypro-sorb f, perica...

alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide e. c. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. this enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...

introduction: hydatid cyst disease is caused by the protoscolices of echinococcus granulosus. alkaline phosphatase (alp) enzyme is required for metabolism, physiology, immunology, and nutrients absorption in parasite. the aim of this study was to compare the level of alp activity (as a pathological biomarker) in hydatid cyst protoscolices (hcp) with that of sheep liver tissue and to determine t...

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...
