The authors have previously described the presence of gammaglutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase in the saliva of healthy individuals and of patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. The authors show in this work the values of said enzymes in the blood serum and saliva of 23 cases
Changes in the total activity of acid phosphatase in the liver as well as changes in the enzyme activity in hepatocytes and connective tissue cells of fibrosis layers were investigated, using quantitative histochemical method, in the process of mouse cirrhosis involution. After discontinuation of
Amniotic fluid analysis of microvillar enzymes, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP) total activity and ALP isoenzymes, has been widely experimented with and used for the prenatal diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in the second trimester of gestation. Since the development of cystic fibrosis molecular
A monoclonal antibody (AAP-1), specific for the intestinal isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), has been used to develop an immunoassay for amniotic fluid samples. Values in the immunoassay correlated closely with those obtained by direct determination of phenylalanine-inhibitable ALP. A panel
Second-trimester amniotic fluid contains two major alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes, one susceptible to inhibition by phenylalanine and the other to inhibition by homoarginine. The proportions of these isoenzymes are constant between 15 and 21 weeks of gestation. In pregnancies where the fetus
Utilizing their differential susceptibilities to inhibitors and heat, we determined the amounts of the placental, liver, and fetal-intestinal isoenzyme forms of alkaline phosphatase in 143 samples of normal amniotic fluid obtained at 14 to 18 weeks' gestation (1). For reliable results, it was
BACKGROUND
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic fatal lung disease with dismal prognosis and no cure. The potential role of the ubiquitously expressed SH2 domain-containing tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) as a therapeutic target has not been studied in IPF.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the
Fundamental cell signaling mechanisms that regulate dynamic remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in mechanically loaded tissues are not yet clearly understood. Trabecular meshwork (TM) tissue in the eye is under constant mechanical stress and continuous remodeling of ECM is crucial to
The membrane glycoprotein enzyme, alkaline phosphatase was induced in cultured human fibroblasts by dibutyryl cyclic AMP, sodium butyrate, the serum glycoprotein fetuin, the Tamm-Horsfall urinary glycoprotein, and by a number of inhibitors of DNA synthesis. The uninduced basal enzyme activity
Some cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations, such as G551D, result in a correctly localized Cl- channel at the cell apical membrane, albeit with markedly reduced function. Patch-clamp studies have indicated that both phosphatase inhibitors and
A 78 year-old lady presented with abdominal swelling and fatigue. She was anaemic with mild hypoalbuminaemia, and had a normal alkaline phosphatase. Computed tomography showed hepatosplenomegaly and mild ascites. Anti mitochondrial antibodies were strongly positive, as were anti nuclear antibodies,
Twenty-nine patients with a positive antimitochondrial antibody titer greater than or equal to 1/40, who were detected during screening for other autoimmune disease, are described who had a normal serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and transaminase and who had no symptoms of liver disease at
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a representative marker of cholestasis, in diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). However, the hepatic localization of ALP in patients with cholestatic liver diseases has not been fully clarified. Accordingly, we studied the expression of ALP in the
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the destruction of biliary epithelial cells, presumably by autoimmune mechanism(s). Although lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PBC, the possible involvement of eosinophils has also been
OBJECTIVE
Primary biliary cirrhosis is a potentially lethal hepatobiliary disorder in which 90% of the patients are women. Histologically, the disease is characterized by a progressive destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts by autoreactive T lymphocytes. Although the underlying etiology remains
