Assessment of Levels of Metabolic Hormones and Lipid Profile in Growth Hormone Deficient Patients
...Show More Authors

Abstract

The current study aims to evaluate levels of metabolic hormones and lipid profile in a sample of growth hormone (GH) deficient patients. Seventy five GH deficient patients and twenty healthy subjects used as control group have been participated in this study during their attendance to the National Diabetic Center for Treatment and Research/Al-Mustansiriya University. The studied subjects’ ages were with a range (3-15 years). Blood samples were collected from the studied subjects to determine levels of basal GH, GH2 and GH3 after 1 hr and 1/30 hr provocation with clonidine, respectively; insulin like growth factor (IGF-1); levels of metabolic hormones [thyroid profile: triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)]; and lipid profile [cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)].

The findings of the anthropometric measurements of the studied groups revealed that a non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in the weight between the patients and the control, while the mean of height in the patients was significantly (P<0.05) lower than its value in the control. Mean of BMI detected a non-significant (P>0.05) difference between the patients and the control. While mean of BMI percentile and mean of BMI Z-score revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease in the patients compared to their values in the control.

The results showed that non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in level of basal GH between the patients and the control, while a high significant (P<0.01) decrease was found in levels of GH2 and GH3 in the patients group compared to the control group. Level of IGF-1 showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in the patients compared to the control.

The results of metabolic hormones revealed a non-significant (P>0.05) difference in serum T3 between the patients and the control, while a high significant (P<0.01) decrease was found in serum T4 in the patients compared to the control.  A non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in serum TSH between the patients and the control. The data of serum cortisol showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the patients compared to the control.

The results of lipid profile showed a non-significant (P>0.05) difference in serum cholesterol between the patients and the control, while triglyceride showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the patients compared to the control. A non-significant (P>0.05) difference was found in serum HDL between the patients and the control, while a significant (P<0.05) increase was found in levels of LDL and VLDL in the patients compared to the control.

It can be concluded from the present study that diagnosis of GHD cannot be done at the basal serum of GH.  A high level of GH was detected after 1 hr. provocation with clonidine compared with its value after 1/30 hr. provocation. The IGF-1 is an appropriate parameter to expect GHD in children and adolescences whom GHD was detected by GH stimulation testing. Low GH secretion is associated with high level of cortisol resulting in GHD.  Patients with GHD displayed a tendency towards lipids disturbances.

The study aimed to increase the biological value of white bean. The effect of different concentrations 0.01 ,0.02,0.03,and 0.04 M of sodium sulfite solutions for 1hr at 70 ºC on the trypsin inhibitors activity, protein isolate and protein solubility of complete and dehulling white bean flour were studied.Trypsin inhibitors activity were reduced by 42.97, 58.69, 68.59 and 69.58% in complete white bean flour at 0.01 ,0.02, 0.03, 0.04 M respectively, while the corresponding values were 50.43, 61.00, 75.61 and 85.66% respectively in dehulling white bean flour .Protein isolate value was 13.41% and protein solubility was 2.2% in control sample, Furthermore, the using of chemical treatment showed that protein isolate was reduced gradually and

...Show More Authors

The concentrations of naturally radioactive made occurring and technically enhanced radioisotopes of fly ash samples, collected from Al-Dura thermal power Plant- south of Baghdad, have been investigated using the NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectroscopy. The average Activity concentrations of the radio elements 238 U, 232Th and 40K in Fly ash samples are measured accurately and found to be 33.860, 32.6 and 644.64Bq/kg respectively. On the whole the radionuclide's concentrations are still below the global average of 50 Bq/kg for 238U and 232Th, but are much higher in 40K, relative to the global average, about 500 Bq/kg. The absorbed gamma doses in air, due to naturally occurring radionuclides in fly ash samples, are measured and found within the ra
