Introduction. Many changes happen during growth and development in an organism as a result of important hormone changes, especially biohumoral ones. These changes make a problem when interpreting biochemical results in pediatric population. The most important changes are intensive calcium and phosphorus metabolic turnover in bone tissue with changes in alkaline phosphatase activity as a result of osteoblast activity. The aim of this study was to follow the serum calcium and phosphorus concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity in children 1-15 years old in different growth and development period and of different sexes and to fortify the influence of growth and development dynamics on biohumoral status in healthy male and female children. Material and methods. We evaluated 117 healthy children of both sexes from 1-15 years of age and divided them into three age groups: 1-5, 6-10 and 11-15 years. We followed the serum calcium and phosphorus concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity in different groups and in different sexes. Results and conclusion. Our investigation found significantly higher values of serum calcium in boys than in girls with no important changes between the age groups and significantly higher values of serum phosphorus in the youngest age group in all children and in different sexes with no important sex differences. Alkaline phosphatase activity followed the growth spurt and was the biggest in 6-10 years group in girls and in 11-15 years group in boys.

The levels of inorganic phosphorus, calcium, free, connected and common oxyproline, alkaline phosphatase activity in blood are investigated in the experiment of standard craniocerebral trauma in connection wth the fracture of crus bones. The data obtained suggest the breaking of the coordination of hormonal regulation, manifesting itself simultaneously by the effect of parathormone and calcitonine in both phases of osteal regeneration. The disregulation of mineral metabolism, catabolism and anabolism processes of organic matrix causes the delay of reparative processes, intypicalness and development of fibrous tissue.

ABSTRACT Enzymatic studies, on leucocytes of pregnant women, show an increase of the alkaline phosphatase activity and a decrease of the glucose consumption and lactate production, as well as of proteolysis. The oxygen consumption, with succinate as substrate, does not vary.
