Increased Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in the Somatic Extract of Hydatid Cyst Protoscoleces upon Treatment with Albendazole, an Implication for in vitro Evaluation of Drug Efficiency

Increased Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in the Somatic Extract of Hydatid Cyst Protoscoleces upon Treatment with Albendazole, an Implication for in vitro Evaluation of Drug Efficiency

Introduction: Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic disease of humans in Iran, and Albendazole (ABZ) is a drug of choice for treatment of this infection. As the Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is necessary for the metabolism of parasites, this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of ABZ on ALP enzyme act...
