myocardial infarction/phosphatase

BACKGROUND Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been shown to be a prognostic factor in several subgroups of patients due to its promotion of vascular calcification. However, the prognostic impact of serum ALP level in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with a relatively low

Background: Elevated serum transaminase or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been proposed as a novel prognosticator for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We evaluated the combined prognostic impact of elevated serum transaminases and ALP on

The inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α play an important role in left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) inactivates protein kinase Akt and promotes cell death in the

BACKGROUND There has been increasing evidence suggesting that lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin may be an important activator of the innate immune system after acute myocardial infarction. Bovine intestinal alkaline phosphatase reduces inflammation in several endotoxin mediated diseases by

BACKGROUND Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) removes phosphate groups from many types of molecules. The aim of the present research was to study the relation between plasma ALP and survival in diabetic patients with myocardial infarction. METHODS Retrospective study: from 954 admissions (15 months period)

The spectrum of acid phosphatase isoenzymes was studied by means of disk electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. Seven isofractions were detected of this enzyme in blood plasma. In patients with the acute stage of myocardial infarction the amount of isofraction 3 was increased, its electrophoretic

Ten consecutive cases of acute transmural myocardial infarction were accompanied by a rise of 50 to 400 percent in the serum acid phenylphosphatase. The increase in phosphatase began several hours after onset of symptoms and lasted 3 to 5 days. A similar rise was seen during the acute stages of

: PP1-12, a new protein phosphatase-1 inhibitor, is designed and synthesized to modulate the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress apoptotic pathway, which is involved in various cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we examined the effect of PP1-12 on ventricular remodeling and heart function after

The relation of total serum alkaline phosphatase and serum cholesterol in convalescing patients of myocardial infarction with secretor status and blood groups have been studied. Serum cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase levels showed significant difference in secretors (98) and nonsecretors (56) in

Leucocytic acid phosphatase (AP) activity was measured cytochemically in 21 myocardial-infarction patients aged 37 to 57. Neutrophil leucocytosis was found to result from an increase in the quantity of cells with high activity of the enzyme. Neutrophil AP activity was elevated during the first days

Objective Recent studies have shown that alkaline phosphatase (ALP) might play a negative role in clinical outcomes of patients with peripheral and coronary artery disease. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum ALP levels and coronary thrombolysis in myocardial infarction

The protective effect of L-arginine and L-lysine on lysosomal enzymes and membrane bound ATPases was examined on isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in rats. Lysosomal enzymes play an important role in the inflammatory process. The rats given isoproterenol (150 mg kg(-1) daily)

BACKGROUND Since Pakistanis have high prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D as well as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin-D deficiency and risk of AMI in a hospital-based population and to identify major risk factors for this

The aims of the present study were to determine the role of miR-214 on left ventricular remodeling of rat heart with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to further investigate the underlying mechanism of miR-214-mediated myocardial protection. AMI was induced in which adenovirus-expressing miR-214

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of cardiovascular diseases with high incidence and mortality. MicroRNAs, as posttranscriptional regulators of genes, are involved in many diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to determine whether miR-203 was functional in MI
