The tissues and plasma contain two types of non-specific phosphomonoesteraces; one exhibiting the optimum activity around pH 9 to 10 and the other around pH 5.0 and these are designated as alkaline and acid phosphatases. A number of reports are available which indicate that the levels of alkaline phosphatases may undergo changes depending upon the status of nutrition with respect to protein, fat, calcium and phosphorus.

Abstract


The tissues and plasma contain two types of non-specific phosphomonoesteraces; one exhibiting the optimum activity around pH 9 to 10 and the other around pH 5.0 and these are designated as alkaline and acid phosphatases. A number of reports are available which indicate that the levels of alkaline phosphatases may undergo changes depending upon the status of nutrition with respect to protein, fat, calcium and phosphorus.
