hyperthyroidism/phosphatase

The concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase (SALP) is commonly elevated in hyperthyroid cats. Agarose gel electrophoresis, in tris -barbital-sodium barbital buffer, with and without the separation enhancer neuraminidase, was used to investigate the sources of the constituent isoenzymes of SALP

We determined the serum total alkaline phosphatase as well as the alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme pattern in untreated and treated hyperthyreoses in the condition of euthyreosis and compared them with those of a healthy control group. The isoenzyme patterns, expressed as L/K quotient, ranged between

Fifteen of 36 hyperthyroid patients had elevation in serum alkaline phosphatase activity. There was no difference in mean thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), age, or duration of illness between the groups with high alkaline phosphatase and normal alkaline phosphatase levels. After treatment,

In order to elucidate the mechanism of increased alkaline phosphatase (AI-P) activity of bone origin in serum of patients with hyperthyroidism, the effects of thyroid hormone on mouse osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1) were studied in vitro. Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) produced a

Long-term potentiation and long-term depression (LTD) are cellular mechanisms of learning and memory in the mammalian brain. We have previously shown that adult hyperthyroid rats showed a delay in the acquisition of a place learning task and attenuated long-term potentiation. However, changes in LTD

Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) values in 22 hyperthyroid patients did not differ significantly from those of controls matched for age, sex, and the time of year that plasma samples were taken. In the hyperthyroid group, plasma alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher than in controls, and

Cats with hyperthyroidism [(increased serum thyroxine (T(4))] commonly have increased serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in addition to other serum biochemical abnormalities. Serum biochemical profiles were obtained from 10 hyperthyroid cats which had increased serum ALP. Agarose gel

Total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and its isoenzymes were studied in the sera of 72 hyperthyroid patients and 24 age- and sex-matched controls. Eighty-nine per cent of thyrotoxic patients had elevated total serum ALP activity. Both liver (LALP) and bone (BALP) isoenzymes were present in the sera of

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) isoenzymes were measured in the plasma of 63 untreated hyperthyroid patients (the hyperthyroid group), 58 treated hyperthyroid patients, and 100 blood donors. Total, liver, and bone ALP activities were significantly higher in the hyperthyroid group than in the

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) is one of the acid phosphatase isoenzymes. It is secreted by osteoclasts so it has been proposed as a marker of bone resorption. Bone turnover is high in hyperthyroidism due to an increase in both bone resorption and formation. The aim of the study was to

The effect of hyperthyroidism on serum markers for increased bone metabolism and turnover was evaluated in 36 cats with elevated serum levels of thyroxine and alkaline phosphatase. Serum was analyzed for total and ionized calcium and phosphorous. Alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes were separated by

Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) activity was determined in normal subjects, and in untreated, symptomatic patients with primary hypothyroidism or thyrotoxicosis. The means +/- 1 SD of (n) subjects were, respectively: 61.7 +/- 27.5 (16), 149.9 +/- 56.3 (9) and 96.9 +/- 27.7 (9). The mean LAP
