Abstract

This study aims to study the relationship between glycine levels and the activity of glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in different tissues (blood, heart, liver) and explore the impact of this relationship on heart and liver diseases. Data were collected from thirty patients with varying levels of glycine in the blood, and the activity of GOT and GPT enzymes was measured in blood, heart and liver samples, with the effect of glycine on the activity of these enzymes analyzed. The results showed that glycine levels were positively correlated with GOT and GPT enzyme activities in blood, heart, and liver. For example, in blood, the results showed that GOT enzyme activity was 15.29 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and increased to 19.0 U/100ml protein at 8.1% glycine level. In heart, GOT enzyme activity was 18.21 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and increased to 18.3 U/100ml protein at 4.0% glycine level. In liver, the enzyme activity was initially 14.72 U/100ml protein at 0.3% glycine level, and then increased to 19.0 U/100ml protein at higher glycine levels. The results also showed a significant increase in the total tissue activity with increasing glycine levels. In blood, the total activity increased from 14.1 U at 0% glycine to 31.4 U at 2.0% glycine. In the heart, the total activity increased from 27.0 U to 33.8 U at the same glycine levels, reflecting the effect of glycine in enhancing the enzyme activity in cardiac tissue. These results are an important step towards understanding the effect of glycine in improving enzyme activity and promoting metabolic balance, especially in the context of heart and liver diseases. The study also highlights the therapeutic potential of glycine as a nutritional compound in mitigating the effects of oxidative stress and improving the health of damaged tissues. Based on these results, glycine may play a pivotal role in developing new therapeutic strategies to enhance the health of heart and liver tissues. Finally, this study contributes to adding new knowledge about the role of glycine in improving the levels of enzymes that contribute to the balance of metabolic reactions and protecting tissues from damage resulting from oxidative stress, which opens new horizons for medical and therapeutic research in this field. Highlights: Glycine enhances GOT & GPT enzyme activity in blood, heart, and liver. Increased glycine levels improve metabolic balance and tissue health. Potential therapeutic role of glycine in heart and liver diseases. Keywords: Glycine, Enzyme Activity, Metabolic Balance, Heart Health, Liver Function

Abstract

Background: Visceral fat is a key health indicator due to its physiological link to vital body functions, particularly blood pressure regulation. Elevated visceral fat has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Specific Background: High blood pressure, a chronic condition characterized by elevated arterial pressure, is influenced by various physiological factors, including body composition. The excessive accumulation of visceral fat can contribute to hypertension by impacting cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Knowledge Gap: Despite existing studies on obesity and hypertension, limited research has explored the direct correlation between visceral fat levels and blood pressure among university students in Iraq. Aims: This study aims to assess visceral fat levels and blood pressure among students at the Open Educational College – Basra Center and examine the relationship between these two variables. Results: Among 85 participants (42% male, 58% female, mean age 40.14 years), 55% had abnormal visceral fat levels, and 52% exhibited elevated blood pressure. Chi-square analysis revealed a significant relationship (X² = 8.125, p = 0.028) between visceral fat and hypertension, indicating that individuals with higher visceral fat percentages were more likely to have elevated blood pressure. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence linking visceral fat accumulation to increased blood pressure in an understudied population, reinforcing the importance of visceral fat as a predictive factor for hypertension. Implications: The findings highlight the necessity for targeted health interventions, including lifestyle modifications and public health strategies, to mitigate the risks associated with excessive visceral fat accumulation and hypertension. Future research should further investigate underlying mechanisms and preventive measures tailored to at-risk populations. Highlights: Visceral fat impacts blood pressure, influencing cardiovascular health. Higher visceral fat correlates with increased blood pressure levels. Managing visceral fat may help regulate blood pressure and prevent complications. Keywords: Visceral fat, blood pressure, obesity, cardiovascular health, hypertension.

Abstract

Anemia is a common problem of public health which associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality especially in children of poor countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors that related with anemia in children at pre-school going age. The current study includes 90 children (48 male and 42 female). According to age, 60% of children were under 3 years old, the rest (40%) of children were between 3-6 years old. For male children aged 1-3 years, the hemoglobin level was 6.77 g/dL and 31.25% of them had severe hemoglobin deficiency. As for females in the same age group, the hemoglobin level was 7.40 g/dL, but most of them ( 59.52% ) suffered from moderate anemia. Iron deficiency was found in 14.58 % of male and 23.81% of female, however thalassemia was diagnosed in 18.75 % and 14.29 % of male and female, respectively with non-significant difference (P=0.50). In addition, 41.67% of the male children and 19.05% of the female children were malnourished. Diarrhea was common in both males and females where 39.59 % of males and 54.76% of females presented symptoms of diarrhea. In conclusion, the anemia in children under six years is complex, and highly associated with nutritional status, disease processes, and socio-economic status. If these causes are tackled through better nutrition, access to health and quality education anemia prevalence amongst this group might be greatly reduced. Highlights: High Prevalence in Young Children – Anemia is common among preschool children, with those under three years old being the most affected. Nutritional Deficiencies & Health Conditions – Iron deficiency, thalassemia, malnutrition, and diarrhea contribute significantly to anemia in both male and female children. Need for Comprehensive Interventions – Addressing anemia requires improving nutrition, healthcare access, and socio-economic conditions to reduce its prevalence.
