The inhibitory/repressive effect of the final reaction product (inorganic o-phosphate) and the inducing effect of a substrate (β-glycerophosphate) on the phosphatase activity and synthesis in a salt lake sediment were studied. The determinations have been differentially carried out, for acid, neutral and alkaline phosphatase, and in reaction mixtures without buffering. The acid phosphatase acti...

Vascular calcification (VC) is frequent prevalence in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and atherosclerosis. Lanthanum carbonate is used as an orally administered phosphate-binding agent to reduce the gastrointestinal absorption of phosphate and ameliorate VC in advanced CKD. In this study, we used bovine vascular smooth muscle cells as a model VC in vitro and studied the effects of la...
