The highest levels of human TNAP isoforms are expressed in bone, liver, and kidney tissues, with neutrophil granulocytes, brain and vascular cells as secondary sources of TNAP activity. In human serum, the bone ALP (BALP) and liver ALP isoforms are the most abundant TNAP isoforms, in approximately a 1:1 ratio, comprising more than 90% of the ...
The HNRCA is one of the largest research centers in the world studying nutrition and physical activity in healthy and active aging and the prevention of age-related disease. [5] It has made significant contributions to U.S. and international nutritional and physical activity recommendations, public policy, and clinical healthcare. [6]
The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase, also abbreviated PhoA) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds. The enzyme is found across a multitude of organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike, with the same general function, but in different structural forms suitable to the environment they function in. Alkaline phosphatase is found ...

In contrast, low levels of ALP is found in hypothyroidism, pernicious anemia, zinc deficiency, and hypophosphatasia. [6] ALP activity is significantly increased in the third trimester of pregnancy. [11] This is due to increased synthesis from the placenta as well as increased synthesis in the liver induced by large amounts of estrogens.
Additionally, ALP levels are "not well defined" as of 2020, and can vary by sex and by racial group. [5] Latinos tend to have higher normal levels, followed by those of African heritage, Europeans, and Asians or Pacific Islanders tend to have the lowest baseline ALP levels (all groups assuming body mass index within normal weight range).

That calorie restriction (CR) might lengthen human lifespan was suggested by various studies on laboratory animals. However, when the studies were extended to long-lived primates (rhesus monkeys), while it was indeed found in a 2012 study by the US National Institute on Aging (NIA) that CR had benefits to immune function, motor coordination, and resistance to sarcopenia, a CR regimen ...
The Centres de Recherche en Nutrition Humaine or CRNHs is a network of human nutrition research centres in France.Their goal is to improve the knowledge on the functional properties of food, metabolism, and human physiology, ranging from basic research to the study of behaviours and their impact on health.
