Physio-immunological study of serum Beta-catenin in relation with hyperthyroidism

Abstract

This study was conducted on randomly selected 60 hyperthyroidism patients (23 Males and 27 Females) attending the thyroid center in Al-Sadder Teaching City in Al-Najaf province, Iraq and a group of 30 apparently healthy subjects (15 Males and 15 Females) were included as a control group. The study was carried out from December 2021 to June 2022. The age of patients and control groups were ranged of 20-60y. The results show significant increase (P<0.05) in Beta catenin level in patients compared with control groups. The results revealed that Beta catenin level are not significant in difference (p>0.05) in patients and control groups at different ages. The results also revealed that there is a highly significant increase (p≤ 0.05) of Beta catenin level in both males and females in patients in comparing with control groups. The results also show that Beta catenin level show a significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in patients in all groups normal weight, over weight and obese weight in comparing with control groups.
