Introduction:Intestinal alkaline phosphatase

There was no study carried out before in Pakistani population to check that diet can influence the value of alkaline phosphatase. It is important to know because random ALP advises routinely by physician for diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, bone diseases and so many other disorders.
In present study, asignificance difference (p = 0.001) was found in fasting and random values of ALP. Mean difference in fasting and random ALP value is 20.5% while about 15.2% individuals exceed ALP value from the upper normal limit after taking breakfast. High fat diet increased the ALP in O and B blood group secretors after 3 to 6 hours of taking the fatty meal9. The same study was conducted by Matsushita et al. in which low and high calorie fat meal was compared in secretors blood groups. ALP activity in B secretors is 8.8% higher due to high calorie meal than low calorie meal and 5.2% higher in O secretors but in our study, 22.7% increase was seen in A blood group, 19.7% in B, 25% in AB and 22.6% in O blood group after taking breakfast. This increase was equally regardless both genders. Because this increase ranges from 19.7% to 25% which can greatly affect the diagnosis important of ALP. As NIAP dependent on fatty meal and markedly increased after fatty meal so it issuggested that, as a rule, for ALP activity analysis blood

Since blood groups are not alterable in healthy people, they have assumed considerable importance in forensic medicine in the analysis of genetic variability, human genetics & anthropology [1]. The property of individuals to secrete these antigenic substances in body fluids such as saliva, gastric juice, seminal fluid etc. is termed as the secretor status. A pair of alleles Se and se determines the secretor status. The knowledge of secretor status can be applied for tissue transplantation among other applications [2]. Various studies have been done trying to co-relate the ABO blood groups with diseases eg. Peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer, pernicious anemia, gallstones, carcinoma of the stomach and Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)

    Acid, below-normal pH, causes many problems in our world today—from drinks to teeth, from pollution of industry to natural disasters. Acid is a chemical substance that can subdue alkalis, can dissolve specific metals and can turn them into salt, such as calcium, turns red on blue litmus paper, is corrosive or sour-tasting when it comes to liquid, generates pain in wounds, and turns colorless when placed in phenolphthalein which is used as a basic to acid indicator ("Definition of acid in English:"). Alkalis is any kind of substance that can produce OH ions, hydroxide ions, in water, which can also be known as 'basic', or 'basicity' ("GCSE CHEMISTRY - What is an Alkali? - What is a Base? - GCSE SCIENCE."). Litmus is a weakly acidic, organic…

    They catalyze most of the reactions compromised in metabolism and they do not just make the majority of the reactions possible, but also serve as mechanism of stabilization and control for these reactions. It is fair enough to admit that without the presence of enzymes life would not be possible. Enzymes kinetics focuses on how the enzymes behave in response to different concentrations of both substrates and products. During this lab the kinetics of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase will be explored. Alkaline phosphatase is considered as an ubiquitous enzyme which can be obtained by isolation from kidney, bone, plasma, intestine, liver, among others.…

    In a study conducted by Anjema et al, the researchers used the 48 hour BH4 loading test to help predict BH4 responsiveness. In it, they found that less than half of their patients were BH4 responsive. Some patients were able to respond to BH4 within 24 hours and others at 48 hours. After the 48 hours were over, an extension phase was followed and it showed that those with true-positive BH4 responsiveness were able to increase intake of natural proteins. Those who responded late during the 48 hours BH4 loading test and were true responders to BH4 showed no difference in natural protein intake when compared to those who had responded in 24 hours.…
