According to the World Health Organization, osteoporosis is a progressive systemic skeletal disorder that is characterized by decreasing bone mass and microstructural breakdown of bone tissue that increases susceptibility to fracture and increased risk of breaking a bone. Here, we aimed to compare the levels of CatK and total oxidative state in patients with diabetes and osteoporosis among the female Iraqi population and study the possible relationship between them. Materials and Methods: This study included 40 females with diabetes (Group G1), 40 with diabetes and osteoporosis (Group G2) and 40 normal healthy f

The effect of vitamine E (as a potent antioxidant free radical scavenger) on the serum levels of Total cholesterol (TC) and Triacylglycerols (TG) was studied and the lipid peroxidation marker (MDA) was measured. The study includes (50) healthy donors from males and females who had given vitamine E at a rate of (400IU) daily for one month and were divided into two groups. 1. Group (A) : included (25) males donors (20-40) years old, before and after giving vitamine E. 2. Group (B) : included (25) females donors (20-40) years old , before and af
