Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase as a good indicator of bone formation in sheepdogs

Eight clinically healthy male sheepdogs were selected and subjected to experimental radius transaction. Blood samples were taken before and weekly after surgery, and radiographs were taken immediately and weekly after surgery to trace new bone formation. Total protein, total ALP, and bone-specific A...

Description
Summary:Eight clinically healthy male sheepdogs were selected and subjected to experimental radius transaction. Blood samples were taken before and weekly after surgery, and radiographs were taken immediately and weekly after surgery to trace new bone formation. Total protein, total ALP, and bone-specific ALP were measured in serum samples. There was no significant difference in total proteins, but total ALP and bone ALP activity were significantly increased (P
