In this study, changes in the activities of serum total and prostatic acid phosphatase (TACP and PACP, respectively), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma( )-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and testosterone level were assessed in male rats exposed wholly to 17.8±2.6cm hrkgm day of gasoline vapours (8 hours daily, 6 days/week) for 20 weeks in exposure chambers. The results showed that exposure to gasolin...

An assessment was made of the value of: (i) the demonstration of intestinal alkaline phosphatase in plasma for the differentiation of intrahepatic from post-hepatic jaundice in 122 jaundiced patients; and (ii) the demonstration of an intermediate molecular mass gamma glutamyltransferase in plasma for the identification of post-hepatic cholestasis in 74 jaundiced patients. The first test had a d...

Intact rat liver cells from the perivenous region were isolated by collagenase perfusion after first destroying the periportal region by a brief portal infusion of digitonin. Periportal cells were isolated after retrograde digitonin infusion. Significantly higher alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyltransferase and lactate dehydrogenase activities and lower glutamate dehydrogenase and pyruva...

To further improve analytical accuracy in clinical chemistry, proficiency testing needs amelioration in the quality of materials tested and in target value assignment. To obtain information on the actual state-of-the-art in the Lombardy region of Italy, and to examine the behavior of different types of control materials (fresh-frozen human sera and lyophilized materials), we developed the follo...
