Changes in Distribution of Alkaline Phosphatase During Early Implantation and Development of the Mouse

“…In general the implication of ALP in important cellular processes are as follows: secretory function (Dempsey and Wislocki 1945;Moog 1946;Bradfield 1950), phospholipid synthesis (Malone 1960), RNA synthesis (Gavasto and Pileri 1958), and carbohydrate metabolism (Moog and Wenger 1952).…”

Some Biochemical and Kinetic Properties of Sheep Uterine Endometrial Alkaline Phosphatase

“…3.1.3.1) in the uterine endometrium of the ewe is influenced by progesterone and increases during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy (Hafez and White 1968;Murdoch andWhite 1968a, 1968b;Murdoch 1970). Although alkaline phosphatase has been implicated in a number of important cellular processes such as transport of materials across the membranes of cells having a secretory function (Dempsey and Wislocki 1945;Moog 1946;Bradfield 1950), phospholipid synthesis (Malone 1960), RNA synthesis (Gavasto and Pileri 1958), and carbohydrate metabolism (Moog and Wenger 1952;Boshier 1969), its precise role in endometrial metabolic trans-formations concerned with the provIsIon of maternal nutriments for the preimplantation conceptus in particular and in reproductive physiology in general is not known. In view of this, some biochemical and kinetic properties of purified sheep endometrial alkaline phosphatase are presented in this paper.…”

Effect of Different Doses of 90SR on the Ovaries of the Foetal Mouse

“…1969, GRAHN et coll. 1964, MALONE 1960, OAKBERG 1958. It has been demonstrated in female mice that there are two periods of especially high radio sensitivity, one around the 11th to 15 th day of the foetal stage, the other from a day or so before birth up to a few days after birth (BEAUMONT 1962, 1965, PETERS & LEVY 1964 In experiments with chronic gamma irradiation a similar sensitivity period has been reported during the second week of life (RONNBACK 1967).…”
