This study aims to investigate the levels and role of (HO-1) in obese patients against oxidative stress and its relationship to obesity. The study included 139 samples: (84 obese and 55 non-obese persons). Both study groups were divided into four groups based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). Blood sample was collected from obese persons and control groups (men and women) at AL-Yarmouk Hospital and the National Diabetes Research Center at the period between December-2022 until June-2023. Some biochemical parameters were measured for all studied groups, which include: Determining of HO-1 levels in serum by using the ELISA-technique, lipid profile and fasting serum glucose (FSG) assessed enzymatic. BMI levels were found to be increased significantly in obesity class II group, obesity-class I group, and overweight group compared with normal weight groups. Also, the results showed that waist hip ratio (WHR (was significantly increased (p≤ 0.05) in groups obesity class II, obesity class I, and overweight group compared with normal weight group. Also, the results showed that the HO-1 levels were higher in obese-class I patients and obese-class II group compared with normal-weight and overweight groups. The statistical analysis displayed that, the level of HO-1 is associated negatively with BMI in normal weight group (G1), while positively with the obesity-class II, obesity-class I, and overweight groups. We conclude from this study that the body's first line of defense against oxidative stress attack is HO-1. This cell-protective enzyme reduces oxidative stress and is vital for controlling lipogenesis, which is crucial for the development of metabolic diseases and its complications.","PeriodicalId":8687,"journal":{"name":"Baghdad Science Journal","volume":"325 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139160892","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}

So that it does not harm human health and other living organisms. In this study zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared from natural plant sources high product to be used as a catalyst for the preparation of industrially important monomers, and a lactam polymer was added in the presence of zinc oxide extracted from plant (cloves).

Hence, the study of this parasite and its deleterious impacts on host, morphologically, histopathologically, epidemiologically, and molecularly, is so important. Hence, the current study was designed to investigate this fluke of livestock in Erbil and Halabja slaughterhouses from August to October 2022. To meet the prerequisites of the study, 33 flukes were collected from the sheep and cattle at study sites. The samples were transported to the Zoology Research Laboratory, Salahaddin University-Erbil, Iraq. Some of them were used for morphological identification, and others were preserved in 96% ethanol and stored at -20°C. Subsequently, DNA was extracted. Conversely, pieces of the infested liver were fixed in 99% ethanol and 10% formalin before histopathologic examination. The parasite species were identified using traditional Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and sequencing methods. Macroscopically, hepatomegaly was the main finding of the infestation. Among livestock, cattle exhibited the highest rate of morbidity, followed by goats and sheep. The amplified DNA region was 98–99%, matched to F. hepatica and F. gigantica sequences. It was also established that 28S rDNA sequencing combined with morphologic characteristics of Fasciola species can be applied as a salient indicator in the identification of flukes. The current study is reckoned as a comprehensive investigation regarding fascioliasis, because it covered the parasite epidemiology, morphology, and molecular identification, despite of histopathologic examination.","PeriodicalId":8687,"journal":{"name":"Baghdad Science Journal","volume":"2020 33","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139159994","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}
