We describe the case of an elderly woman whose symptoms and electrocardiographic pattern initially suggested acute myocardial infarction. The value for total serum creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2; CK) was 737 U/L (reference interval: 22269 U/L), and electrophoresisfor CK isoenzymes demonstrated two bands, the more anodal migrating to the CK-MB region and the second migrating between the CK-MB and C...

background : studies show that there is association between air pollution and disturbances on normal function of various systems of body. the main aim of this study was to determine the effects of diesel oil vapor inhalation on serum creatine, alkaline phosphatase, sgot and sgpt levels as indices of liver function in male rats. methods: thirty two rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: contr...

Creatine kinase (CK) is located in an isoenzyme-specific manner at subcellular sites of energy production and consumption. In muscle cells, the muscle-type CK isoform (MM-CK) specifically interacts with the sarcomeric M-line, while the highly homologous brain-type CK isoform (BB-CK) does not share this property. Sequence comparison revealed two pairs of lysine residues that are highly conserved...

Because creatine kinase (CK) appears in cardiac lymph after myocardial infarction, this study was undertaken to determine whether lymph inactivates CK in vitro and whether interruption of cardiac lymph flow influences estimation of infarct size based on plasma CK changes in conscious dogs. After the effects of incubation of canine myocardial CK in native, deproteinized, or sulfhydrylfortified l...

Creatine kinase (CK) BB, a member of the CK gene family, is a predominantly cytosolic CK isoform in the brain and plays a key role in regulation of the ATP level in neural cells. CK BB levels are reduced in brain regions affected by neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Pick's disease, and Lewy body dementia, and this reduction is not a result of decreased mRNA levels. This study demon...

The storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland soils is an essential strategy that serves the dual purpose enhancing fertility and mitigating climate change. However, how stability stored altered under long-term fertilization has not been well understood, especially double rice cropping system Chinese paddy soils. In this study, we explored SOC consequent fertilization. samples were fract...

We describe polynomial–time algorithms that produce approximate solutions with guaranteed accuracy for a class of QP problems that are used in the design of support vector machine classifiers. These algorithms employ a two–stage process where the first stage produces an approximate solution to a dual QP problem and the second stage maps this approximate dual solution to an approximate primal so...

Sir, Creatine Kinase (CK) E.C. 2.7.3.2. is separable into three different isoenzymes by a number of methods. Each isoenzyme is a dimer composed of two subunits (Bor M) each having a relative molecular mass of 40,000. These isoenzymes are widely distributed in tissues, CK-MM and CK-MB are found mainly in the skeletal and heart muscles and CK-BB in G.l. tract and the brain with small amounts also...
