Abstract

In the serum of lambs at birth most of the circulating alkaline phosphatase, identified by electrophoretic analysis, was of skeletal origin. Suckling was associated with a rapid increase in activity of intestinal alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in serum. There was a coincidental increase in level of circulating gamma globulin. Activity of the intestinal isoenzymes in serum began to fall between 15 and 21 h after birth and this fall preceded a fall in serum gamma globulin concentration. The electrophoretic characteristics of the intestinal isoenzymes in serum changed as activity of these isoenzymes increased and then decreased.
