objectives: the purpose of this study was to consider the effect of eight weeks aerobic training on pth, albumin, calcium, alkaline phosphatesand estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. methods & materials: 22 postmenopause women, 55-70 years, of jahandidegan center in tehran were selected and randomly divided into two groups: (experimental (12) and control (10)) .they had aerobic training pro...

little is known about relation of transplantation and bone. we conducted a study to find out the frequency and predictors of osteoporosis in kidney transplanted patients in iran. dexa (dpx-md, ge, lunar corporation, usa) used for bmd of 61 kidney transplanted patients. calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, bun, creatinine and pth, were also measured. fourty four percent of patients were men...

background/objective: hyperphosphatemia is the consequence of end stage renal failure. inadequate control of serum phosphorus results in elevated ca × p product with subsequent soft tissue deposition in the form of conjunctival and corneal calcification.  in this study, we evaluated the relationship of conjunctival and corneal calcification with secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis pat...

A standard assay for measuring alkaline phosphatase activity is detecting the production of nitrophenol from the artificial substrate p-nitrophenol phosphate. Nitrophenol absorbs light at 420 nm, which provides a convenient detection method. However, the absorbance of nitrophenol varies with pH. This variation complicates the use of the colorimetric assay to study the pH-dependence of alkaline ...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy on bone healing in diabetic rats. METHODS Bone cavities (19 mm diameter) were performed in the femur of 72 alloxan-induced diabetic rats, which were assigned into four groups: CTR (non-diabetic control), DBT (diabetic) CTRL (non-diabetic irradiated) and DBTL (diabetic irradiated). Low-level laser therapy was performed every 48 h for...

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...

Alkaline phosphatase from Escherichia coli catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-substituted monoesters of phosphorothioic acid of the type RSP03Naz (R = -CH2CH2NH2,-CH2CHzNHCOCH3,-CH,COOH, or -CH2CHzCOOCzH~), at the S-P bond, to yield orthophosphate and the corresponding thioalcohols. The rate of enzymic hydrolysis of cysteamine S-phosphate was measured at different pH values and substrate concentrati...
