Effect of aging on growth hormone-leptin axis in normal and obese healthy subjects
...Show More Authors

Background: Growth hormone is a hormone responsible for the normal body growth and development by stimulation protein production in muscle cells and
energy release for breakdown of fat. On the other hand leptin is a newly discovered hormone that is mainly synthesized in adipose tissues it decreases food intake by
causing satiety and promoting energy combustion . Both aging and obesity are associated with a reduction in growth hormone secretion. In the mean time obese
humans have increased circulating leptin.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to shed light on the contribution of these two hormones in the mechanism of aging process in an attempt of improving this
process for a better life at old ages. Sera from blood samples were used to carry out certain biochemical parameters and hormone (growth hormone and leptin).
Results: The results obtained show a decrease in the level of growth hormone with progression of age. In the mean time there is an increase in the level of serum leptin
with the advancement of age. Aging is usually associated with adiposity. Increasing fat with age is probably multifactorial one potential mechanism for that is reduced
leptin transport across blood-brain barrier.. 
Conclusion: The increase in leptin level which was observed in elderly age group and obese group suggest that the associated decrease in growth hormone serum
level is related to obesity in general and in particular to the aging process.

Determinants of Investment Allocations in the Agricultural Sector in Iraq : A Comparison Between the Method of least Squares Approach and the errror Correction Model
...Show More Authors

Abstract

                 The research aimed to test the relationship between the size of investment allocations in the agricultural sector in Iraq and their determinants using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method compared to the Error Correction Model (ECM) approach. The time series data for the period from 1990 to 2021 was utilized. The analysis showed that the estimates obtained using the ECM were more accurate and significant than those obtained using the OLS method. Johansen's test indicated the presence of a long-term equilibrium relationship between the size of investment allocations and their determinants. The results of th
