Alkaline phosphatase activity in plasma of pregnant chagasic patients

The Kinetic properties of plasma placental alkaline phosphatase patients with Chagas' disease were studied. When Cl2 Mg was used as activator the same increase of activity (17-20 per cent) was found in the chagasic and non chagasic groups. The enzyme was not inhibited by F-ion in any of the groups. No si...
