Antler Cycle

Abstract. Alkaline phosphatase, hydroxyproline, osteocalcin, and 1,25(OH)2D were measured in biweekly serum samples obtained from 6 adult (> 4 years), 4 juvenile (1–4 years) and 4 fawn (< 1 year) male white-tailed deer from Oct. 1983 to Oct. 1984. Antler length, from the pedicle to the tip, was measured at the time of serum sampling. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity and levels of hydroxyproline and osteocalcin were higher (P < 0.05) in fawns compared with juveniles and adults reflecting increased bone metabolism in the younger deer. In adult deer serum alkaline phosphatase activity and hydroxyproline levels were elevated (P < 0.05) during the period of antler growth, whereas serum osteocalcin and 1,25(OH)2D increased (P < 0.05) during antler mineralization. Similar but less pronounced trends occurred in juvenile deer, possibly a reflection of skeletal growth in the younger animals. The data lend support for utilization of the deer antler cycle as a model for studies of bone disorders. Further work is needed to help clarify the role of hydroxyproline, osteocalcin, and 1,25(OH)2D in the antler cycle.

Prepubertal Girls

Abstract We determined plasma (serum alkaline phosphatase activity in 854 healthy students of the Rochester, Minnesota, public schools. Prepubertal girls had somewhat greater upper limits than did boys, and there was a low trend of increasing activity in both sexes. At the beginning of adolescence increasing activities were observed, which peaked at ages 11 to 12 years in girls and at ages 13 to 14 in boys. Adult values were not reached until six to eight years later. In 180 pairs of siblings, a significant intraclass correlation was noted. A possible role of alkaline phosphatase in the regulation of protein synthesis is suggested.

Abstract An automated method is described for determining alkaline phosphatase activity in serum, with use of sodium thymolphthalein monophosphate as the substrate. The system makes use of standard AutoAnalyzer components, has a simple flow diagram, and does not involve dialysis. The method has good precision, and the results correlate well with those from the manual method of which it is an adaptation
