    The authors studied 74 pregnant women with preeclampsia presenting various degrees of gravity. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was determined cytochemically in the leucocytes. It was established that the activity of the enzyme was unchanged in mild preeclampsia and diminished progressively with advancement of the pathological process, compared with the respective values of normally progressing pregnancy at the same gestational period. A cytochemical criterium is proposed for differentiating the mild form of preeclampsia form the moderate form of preeclampsia.

    Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

    Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.

    Introduction to Electrolytes

    In humans, electrolytes play a vital role in various physiological processes. Balancing electrolyte levels is essential for normal body functions; their imbalance can be life-threatening. The major electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonate. They are primarily involved in physiological processes, such as nerve signal transmission, membrane trafficking, muscle contraction, buffering body fluids, and balancing water levels in the body.
