Title: Measurement of alkaline phosphatase of intestinal origin in plasma by p-bromotetramisole inhibition. Author: Kuwana T, Rosalki SB. Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1991 Mar; 44(3):236-7. PubMed ID: 2013625. Abstract: L-p-bromotetramisole was used to inhibit non-intestinal alkaline phosphatase (of liver or bone origin) (EC 3.1.3.1; ALP) in plasma, and intestinal ALP was measured from the uninhibited activity. The method of determination is convenient and correlated well with measurement by immunocapture assay. If carried out in parallel with wheat-germ lectin precipitation of bone ALP, subtraction of intestinal ALP activity from that of non-bone ALP in the supernatant can be used to measure the ALP that originates from the liver in men and non-pregnant women.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
