Phosphorylation of tyrosine residues within proteins, which is controlled by the reciprocal action of protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases, plays a key role in regulating almost all physiological responses. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that once the balance of tyrosine
The intriguing co-infection of two flaviviruses (GBV-A and GBV-B) in tamarins and the recent discovery of another flavivirus (GBV-C/HGV) in humans raises the question of the relations between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and GBV-C/HGV. To address this issue the sera of 285 patients with liver disease
To identify the types of liver disease in which osteopenia is a prominent feature and to understand the mechanisms of bone loss, bone mineral density was measured in the lumbar spine and hip, bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and biochemical markers of calcium homeostasis were measured in 42
Alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes have been studied by acrylamide gel disc electrophoresis in 76 patients with liver disorders comprising 15 with an extrahepatic lesion, 53 with an intrahepatic lesion, and eight patients who had features of both intra- and extrahepatic disease. No intestinal band was
Earlier studies have identified two main isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase in the sera of patients with obstructive liver disease. This paper reports on a study of these isoenzymes in specific types of liver disease where the pathology in relation to bile duct obstruction is known. The results have
The evaluation of hepatic degradation of glycogen in patients with different chronic liver diseases was carried out on the basis of: a) specific activities of hepatic enzymes involved in catabolism of glycogen; b) level of glycogen in liver biopsies; c) concentration of glucose and cAMP in serum
OBJECTIVE
Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) are present in the brush border of mucosal absorptive cells in the small intestine. There are few studies on the effect of alcohol consumption on these enzymes. Increased intestinal GGT in biopsy specimens from the
Both serum particulate alkaline phosphatase and serum lipoprotein-X have been proposed as diagnostic markers for obstructive liver diseases. In this study their diagnostic efficiencies have been compared with other biochemical indicators of liver function and the relative incidence of these two
Twenty patients with longstanding alcoholism and biopsy-proven alcoholic liver disease presented with marked elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase (in excess of four times the upper limit of normal). None had a past or present history to suggest pancreatitis or biliary tract disease, nor had any
In the course of alcoholic chronic pancreatitis, increased serum alkaline phosphatase level is usually caused by common bile duct stenosis but may also be due to alcoholic liver disease. The aims of this prospective study were to investigate whether clinical, biochemical and radiological factors
BACKGROUND
Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in infants with intestinal failure (IF) can be due to parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) or metabolic bone disease (MBD). The purpose of the study was to determine the utility of serum ALP in the diagnostic criteria for PNALD by
A useful laboratory test for the differentiation of liver, bone, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes in serum is presented. Electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel is performed with untreated serum as well as with serum incubated at 56 degrees C for 10 min. The heating step denatures
OBJECTIVE
Determination of risk factors relevant to 90-day prognosis in AH. Comparison of the conventional prognostic models such as Maddrey's modified discriminant function (mDF) and Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) score with newer ones: the Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score (GAHS); Age, Bilirubin, INR,
A prospective study of the initial liver laboratory tests was carried out in the following patients: 55 patients with alcoholic liver disease, 53 with cholangitis, 41 with hepatocellular carcinoma, 65 with acute viral hepatitis, and 49 with hepatitis-B surface antigen-positive chronic active
Since the amounts of hepatogenous enzymes discharged into the intestinal tract remain unknown, this study was initiated to evaluate the amounts of the enzymes in the intestinal tract. Whole gut lavage fluid (polyethyleneglycol electrolyte solution) was administered orally to 42 subjects, consisting
