In the present study phosphatase levels ( Acid and Alkaline ) were compared with sperm count and motility in 100 subjects with varying conditions. All the subjects presented were between 21-45 years of age. Samples of semen were collected from 100 cases comprising of the different grades of sperm concentration and motility. Human seminal fluid contains significant amount of acid phosphatase and...

INTRODUCTION Limited evidence suggests that serum alkaline phosphatase activity may decrease after cardiac surgery in adults and children. The importance of this finding is not known. Recent studies, however, have identified a potential role for alkaline phosphatase as modulator of inflammation in multiple settings, including during adult cardiopulmonary bypass. We sought to describe the change...

OBJECTIVE: In traditional medicaments, Teucrium Polium is used as anti-fungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. Modern researches have shown that use of T. polium in vitro leads to decrease in fatty acids. To confirm the anti-diabetic evidences of Teucrium polium this survey was done to evaluate the effect of boiled aqueous extract of T. polium on serum lipids, body weight and...

The view is advanced that it is important to fix the stage of development corresponding to the pattern of expression of oncodevelopmental proteins in neoplastic transformation and neoplasia. From a map of development focused on events beginning with the zygote and ending with the establishment of fetus and placenta, it is possible to explain why certain develop mental gene products are restrict...

Breast tissue samples, including normal breast, nonmalignant disorders, and breast carcinomas (n = 257), were tested with monoclonal antibody Ki67 to define the growth fraction in each tissue subgroup. Immunocytochemical assays using anti-Ki67 and avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex and/or alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase were applied in frozen sections. The immunoreactions were anal...

Lactoferrin is contained in cytoplasmic granules of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Upon centrifugation, it sediments in a band of granules that also contain 50% of the lysozyme activity. This granule class is distinct from others associated with alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase. The granules are latent for lactoferrin as only lysed granules have the capacity specifically to inhibit anti...

AIMS To examine thymomas for proteins encoded by oncogenes and to determine whether their presence correlates with tumour growth and associated myasthenia gravis. METHODS Sections of 24 thymomas were incubated with anti-EGF receptor (EGF-R), anti-Ki67 antigen, anti-p53, and anti-bcl-2 antibodies, and then stained using the alkaline phosphatase/anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) technique. Cell...

Two enzyme forms of alkaline phosphatase have been partially purified from the medium spent for the culture of HUH-6 clone 5 cells, which were originally derived from hepatoblastoma tissue. The purification methods used are ammonium sulfate precipitation, ethanol precipitation, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, Affi-Gel Blue chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. These alk...
