... of the conditioned medium. Calcification activity was markedly enhanced by the addition of both prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and its substrate, Α-glycerophosphate, to the medium; however, PAP added alone did not enhance this activity. These results suggest that human prostatic carcinoma cells produce a factor...

...Tomoyuki Ishibe For the purpose of reevaluating diagnostic usefulness of total and prostatic serum acid phosphatase levels in patients with prostatic carcinoma, change of these levels was studied in 110 randomly selected patients, of which 35 were untreated prostatic carcinoma cases. Following...

...R. Chiari; R. Harzmann; E. Züge; R. Allner We find an elevation of serum acid phosphatase levels 5 min after prostatic massage in only 10% of patients with prostatic adenoma. This increase is caused by stored prostatic secretion being pressed into the blood vessels. 60 min later these serum levels...

...Elias A.K. Alsabti; M. Safo The total and l -tartrate labile acid phosphatase were studied in 25 patients with carcinoma of prostate. The results were compared with the results from a control group. Serum acid phosphatase levels both in the control groups and in patients with prostatic cancer were...
