Measuring levels of leptin, lipids and some electrolytes in obese subjects

Abstract

In this study the human body. 90 people were distributed in groups, where 30 people were obese, 30 people were overweight, and 30 people were in a control group, i.e. their weights were normal. The people were men and women between the ages of (20-50).

As it was shown through this study that there is a significant increase in the concentration of the hormone leptin in obese subjects compared with the control group, where the value was (p ≤ 0.05).

As it was found through this study that there was a significant increase in the concentration of cholesterol in obese people compared with the control group, where the value was (p ≤ 0.01), and there was also a significant increase in the concentration of triglycerides in obese people compared with the control group. Where the value was (p ≤ 0.01), and the results also showed that there was a rise in the concentration of low-density proteins in obese subjects compared with the control group, and the value of (p ≤ 0.01) also there was a significant increase in the concentration of low-density proteins in subjects with obesity. of obesity compared with the control group where the value was (p ≤ 0.01)While the results showed that there is a significant decrease in the concentration of beneficial high-density proteins in obese subjects compared with the control group, and the value was (p ≤ 0.05).The results showed that there was a significant increase in sodium concentration in obese people compared with the control group, where the value was (P ≤ 0.01). At the same time, the results showed a significant decrease in potassium concentration in obese people compared with the control group, where was the value of (P ≤ 0.05).
