brain neoplasms/phosphatase

This study is a quantitative analysis of acid and alkaline phosphatase activity in human brain tumor homogenates and subcellular fractions, in parallel with normal brain tissue. Glioblastoma multiforme, meningioma, astrocytoma and normal tissue samples were separated by ultracentrifugation into five

The importance of protein phosphatases in maintaining the integrity of intermediate filaments is supported by the fact that intermediate filaments would undergo a massive reorganization in cells treated with inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. Herein we used okadaic acid to investigate the

Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) activity in peripheral blood was determined in 54 patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD), 11 patients with primary brain tumor, and 23 patients with metastatic brain tumor. The LAP score of the primary brain tumor patients (155 +/- 40) was significantly

The distribution of phosphoglycerate mutase (EC 5.4.2.1, PGM), 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.13, BPGP) and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2, CK) activity and isoenzymes in various regions of adult human brain and in brain tumours (astrocytomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, glioblastomas and

Twenty-six patients with various brain tumors or carcinomatous meningitis were examined for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the cerebrospinal fluid. ALP enzyme levels were compared with the respective levels in control groups of 75 patients with epilepsy, stroke, bacterial and viral meningitis and

Histochemical analysis of frozen, thin sections revealed the distribution of alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) in 47 primary intracranial neoplasms in humans. The cytoplasm of meningioma cells exhibited the strongest ALPase reactivity. Pretreatment of these materials by levamisol indicated that the

The overall prognosis for patients with high-grade glioma remains dismal, despite advances in treatment modalities including neurosurgery, radiation therapy and conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. In this article, we review literature that provides a rationale for the use of antiangiogenic therapy

A chemically preserved food has raised mental health issues. Abnormalities in liver and kidney functions have been reported from mentally imbalanced individuals. This study was focused on finding anxiety issues and biochemistry alterations in brain tumor patients and in controls. The levels of liver
