Evaluation of Estradiol and Prolactin Serum Levels "In Premenopausal; and Postmenopausal" Women with ((Breast Cancer)) In Baghdad City
...Show More Authors

Objective:To Evaluate of Estradiol and Prolactin hormones levels for Breast Cancer women in
Baghdad City.
Methodology: The current study was conducted on 60 breast cancer women and 40 apparently
healthy subjects to evaluate the levels of estradiol and prolactin "hormones in the serum" of
({premenopausal & postmenopausal}) breast cancer and healthy controle women. Estradiol and
prolactin hormones estimated for all cases by using the IMMULITE 2000 instrument that performs
chemiluminescent immunoassays results are calculated for each sample.Data were analysed using
SPSS-18.data of two groups was comparison by the student's t-test.
Results: The results showed a non significant""(P>0.05) elevation in the –mean- serum estradiol level
of the study (premenopausal &postmenopausal ) group (54.0 + 22.8 pg/ml),(31.6 + 9 pg/ml)
respectively compared to that of control (pre& postmenopausal ) group (47.0 + 22.3 pg/ml), (28.4 +
10.7 pg/ml) respectively.while a highly significant (P<0.01) elevation of serum prolactin (30.9 + 18.5
ng/ml) ,(20.9 +15.2 ng/ml) respectively was found in study (premenopausal &postmenopausal ) group
compared to healthy control (premenopausal &postmenopausal ) group (11.7 + 10.4" ng/ml"),(8.7 +
5.1 "ng/ml") respectively.The results of this study indicate that the elevation of estradiol and prolactin
hormones may implicate these hormones in the aetiology of" breast cancer"..
Recommendations: This learn lines recommends emphasizing the necessity of cooperation between
the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Commerce and protecting them from dangerous behavior by
providing them with sufficient support and guidance to stay away from the hormonic products and
focusing on the extension programs in the protection of the community through educating them with
the guidance programs

Correlation between Levels of Serum Prolactin and Total Sialic Acids Concentrations in Fertile and Infertile Women
...Show More Authors

The aim of this study was investigating the correlation between elevation of Prolactin levels and the increase of the concentrations of total sialic acids. The study was performed on 149 women consisted of 93 infertile hyperprolactinimic women (patients), age ranged16-38 years old, and 56 normoprolactinemic women as a control group, 18-37 years old. Serum prolactin (PRL) and gonadotroph hormones (Follicle stimulating hormone FSH and Luteinizing hormone LH) were measured using enzymatic immunoassay (EIA) method, resorcinol method for serum total sialic acids (SIA). Patients were divided into four groups, each group represented the level of prolactin of infertile women as follow: G1= (21-30), G2= (31-40), G3= (41-50), and G4= (51-60) ng/mL. S

Evaluation of Serum Osteocalcin Level in Iraqi Postmenopausal Women with Primary Osteoporosis
...Show More Authors

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic and a progressive disease characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in an increased risk of fracture. Osteocalcin is a non-collagenous protein synthesized and secreted by osteoblasts. Its main physiological functions are calcium ion homeostasis, maintain the normal bone mineralization rate, inhibit the abnormal formation of hydroxyapatite crystal, and to be involved in bone remodeling through a negative feedback mechanism.
Objective: This study was planned to evaluate serum level of bone formation marker osteocalcin (OC) in postmenopausal women with and without primary osteoporosis; and study the correlation between serum osteocalcin level
