Suppression of Insulin Secretion by Ghrelin and The Deterioration of Glucose Tolerance in Healthy Children
...Show More Authors

Background: Ghrelin, identified as an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, functions as a somatotrophic and orexigenic signal from the stomach. The secretion of ghrelin increases under conditions of negative energy balance, such as starvation, cachexia, and anorexia nervosa, whereas its expression decreases under conditions of positive energy-balance such as feeding, hyperglycemia, and obesity. In addition to having a powerful effect on the secretion of growth hormone, ghrelin stimulates food intake and transduces signals to hypothalamic regulatory nuclei that control energy homeostasis. Thus, it is interesting to note that the stomach may play an important role in not only digestion but also as a pituitary growth hormone release and central feeding regulation.

Objective: The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that circulating ghrelin suppresses insulin secretion in healthy children.

Subjects and methods: Enzyne-Linked immunosorbent assay method was used to assay Ghrelin and Insulin. By taking blood sample from 40 obese children, 11 overweight children and 29 normal weight healthy children their age (5-11) years.

Results: the mean concentration of Ghrelin was significantly lower in obese and overweight children than in controls ( P < 0.000 ) . The mean concentration of Insulin was significantly higher in obese and overweight children than in controls ( P < 0.007 ). Negative correlations  was obtained between Ghrelin and BMI, also negative correlation between Ghrelin and Insulin was obtained.  

Conclusions: This study showed that ghrelin reduces insulin secretion and glucose disappearance in healthy children. This findings raise the possibility that endogenous ghrelin has a role in physiologic insulin secretion, and that its antagonist may improve β-cell function.

The risks of derivatives contracts and their reflections on the global financial crisis Analytical study in (Toronto – Dominion) bank
...Show More Authors

The research tacklets the role of risks arising from the excessive use of derivative contracts for trading in financial crises, including the recent global financial crisis in (2008) which is known the mortgage crisis.

   In order to prove the hypothesis of the research, the risk index of derivative contracts has been chosed as expressed in the measure of (value at risk) to be the main field for testing the hypothesis of research. The duration of the contract  has been also chased  for (15) years between the years (2001- 2015), the period preceding the global financial crisis, while the second represents the period of time that followed. The research reached a number of conclusions, bu

Background:Trace elements are essential micronutrients that exist in very low concentrations in the body. They play an important role in various physiological processes and are crucial for proper functioning of the immune system. Many studies have shown that some micronutrients may  have a role in febrile seizure
such as selenium, zinc and copper.
objectives :To determine the level of serum zinc and copper in children with febrile seizures and explore their

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF VORTEX GENERATOR ON THE FLAT-PLATE BOUNDARY LAYER: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF VORTEX GENERATOR ON THE FLAT-PLATE BOUNDARY LAYER
...Show More Authors

This paper is dealing with an experimental study to show the influence of the geometric characteristics of the vortex generators VG son the thickness of the boundary layer (∂) and drag coefficients (CD) of the flat plate. Vortex generators work effectively on medium and high angles of attack, since they are "hidden" under the boundary layer and practically ineffective at low angles.

            The height of VGs relative to the thickness of the boundary layer enables us to study the efficacy of VGs in delaying boundary layer separation. The distance between two VGs also has an effect on the boundary layer if we take into
