Abstract
We present an official AACC reference method for the measurement of alkaline phosphatase, the culmination of optimization experiments conducted by a group of independent laboratories. The details of this method and evaluation of factors affecting the measurement are described. A metal ion buffer has been incorporated that maintains optimal and constant concentrations of zinc(II) and magnesium(II) ions. Final reaction conditions are: pH (30 degrees C), 10.40 +/- 0.05; 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol buffer, 0.35 mol/L; 4-nitrophenyl phosphate, 16.0 mmol/L; magnesium acetate, 2.0 mmol/L; zinc sulfate, 1.0 mmol/L; and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, 2.0 mmol/L.

Role of nutrients in skeletal metabolism and pathology in fish — An overview

TL;DR: Bone deformities associated with nutrient deficiencies and toxicities in various fish can provide an excellent model to study gene action, cell differentiation, morphogenesis, species differences in phenotypic expression of genetic abnormalities, deposition of calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements in cartilage and skeletal tissues in response to vitamins and hormones and nutrient interactions.

Regulated production of mineralization-competent matrix vesicles in hypertrophic chondrocytes.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that hypertrophic chondrocytes can qualitatively modulate their production of matrix vesicles and only when induced to initiate mineralization, will release mineralization-competent matrixVesicles rich in annexin V and alkaline phosphatase.

A randomized, double-blind comparison of risedronate and etidronate in the treatment of paget’s disease of bone

TL;DR: Although etidronate is effective, risedronate offers a shorter duration of therapy, better and longer-lasting remission, significant reductions in pain, and provides additional remission in subjects who exhibited an incomplete response to previous etidronsate treatment.
