Serum alkaline phosphatase in hypophosphatasia

  • PDF
Abstract

It is recognized that serum alkaline phosphatase may reflect enzyme contributions from bone, liver, and intestine. We have investigated serum alkaline phosphatases in two siblings with hypophosphatasia. After administration of long-chain triglycerides, the major alkaline phosphatase component of their sera was shown to be of intestinal origin on the basis of inhibition by l-phenylalanine. Starch block electrophoresis suggested that there were other regions of l-phenylalanine-sensitive alkaline phosphatase in addition to the major slow-moving intestinal band. Medium-chain triglycerides which are absorbed by the portal route did not cause a similar augmentation of intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity. These studies indicate that serum levels of intestinal alkaline phosphatase are increased normally after long-chain fat feeding in hypophosphatasia and may be the major component of total serum alkaline phosphatase activity.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
