Obesity and inappropriate lifestyles such as smoking and fake food not only influence blood lipids but also helps heavy metals and mineral be absorbed and adhered to the tissues with minimal disposal, that producing health problems with ages. A total of 49 female students (18-35 years old) included in this study to assess the relationship between body mass index, heavy metal, and minerals in university students. There is a strong correlation between BMI and potassium, where there is a positively weak relation between selected heavy metal and minerals and BMI. The increases in the presence of heavy metal and minerals in the present study not only depended in the BMI but also as a result of the rise in the effluent flow heavy metal from industrial units found in close nearness to rivers, oceans and seas have ended in an expansion in water bodies and seafood, fruits, vegetable crops and the food chain. That will need further investigation.","PeriodicalId":11637,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Biology","volume":"312 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80004584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, different results have been found in different spots of the world. Studies on the association between the IL-27(-964 A>G) polymorphism and RPL are scarce. This is the first study shows the implication of IL-27(-964 A>G) polymorphism in RPL. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between RPL and interleukin-27(-964 A>G) polymorphism in Iraqi women. Materials and methods: From September 2013 to September 2014, 100 women, as a control group, and 100 women (with three or more consecutive pregnancy loss), as a study group were chosen to investigate the association between the IL-27(-964 A>G) SNP and the RPL. The IL-27(-964 A>G) SNP was determined using polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCRRFLP) technique. Genotype and allele frequencies in study group were compared with those in the control group using Fisher tests. Results are considered to be statistically significant if p-value is less than 0.05. Results: The age and the body mass index were not significantly different between the two groups. The frequencies of genotypes of IL-27 polymorphism in the RPL group were AG (60%), AA (31%) and GG (9%); while in control group were AG (21%), AA (68%) and GG (11%). The genotype frequencies of the -964 A>G SNP was significantly different between the study and the control group (p=0.007). Allele frequencies of this polymorphism were A (35%) and G (65%) in RPL group versus A (61%) and G (39%) in the control group. The frequencies of A and G alleles were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion: Our findings show that IL-27 (-964 A>G) polymorphism is considered a risk factor of RPL in Iraqi women which was different from what has been found previously; this might implicate other factors in the RPL.","PeriodicalId":11637,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Biology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84812713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antiepileptic drugs were stopped taking due to the stable remission. There was a further positive dynamics in intelligence, psychoemotional sphere; the children began to go a nursery school and a special school. Thus, the ketogenic diet is high effectiveness and, perhaps, the only method for GLUT1 treatment.

In this study we were investigated the effects of Salicylic hydroxamic acid(SHAM) on seed germination and yield of lemon balm. It was conducted at Agriculture Research Center of Hamedan Province in 2013. SHAM used in 4 different concentrations (0, 50, 75, 100 ppm). Seeds were primed for 8 hours in each concentration, and planted in petri dish. Then, we were assessment some parameter such as seed germination, germination speed, root length, root weight, shoot length, shoot weight, seedling dry weight, enzyme activity, catalase, and peroxidase. This study indicated that SHAM had significant effects on all germination traits and biochemical parameters. Comparison of mean effects of SHAM revealed that the highest germination percent (89%), germination speed (5.41), shoot length (21.15 mm), root length (17 mm), fresh weight (38 mg) and dry weight (8.12 mg). The highest catalase enzymes (23 micromole/mg) and highest peroxidase action (25.66 micromole/mg) were observed at the control concentration. It can be concluded that the SHAM has antioxidant properties and regulate resporiratory system.","PeriodicalId":11637,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Biology","volume":"9 1","pages":"406-412"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85353255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
