Phosphate deficiency imposed on weanling rats for two wk resulted in a 40% increase in alkaline phosphatase activity of incisor pulp, without a significant change in Ca2+-, Mg2+-ATPase activity. The results are consistent with a separate identity for the two enzymes, but their physiological roles remain obscure.
