Study of the Physiological effects of heart Atherosclerosis on concentrations of some electrolytes, lipid component, sex hormones in Tikrit city and its Governorate

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the concentrations effect of some Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium) and some Lipids compounds (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, and very low density lipoprotein), and some sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) on the atherosclerosis disease. The study included a comparison between 60 patients from both male and female with heart atherosclerosis disease, with 40 healthy from both gender. The age ranged between (30 - 83) years for both patients and healthy people. The results indicates a moral increase of (P≤0.05) in the concentration of (sodium ions, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, low density lipoprotein, and very low density lipoprotein) in patients compared with the healthy people. On the other hand, the concentration of (Potassium ions, Magnesium, high density lipoprotein, estrogen and testosterone hormones) shows a moral increase of (P≤0.05) for healthy people compared with patients. This conclude that the increase of sodium ions and harmful lipids, and the decrease in six hormones concentration, were all factors that contributed in the creation of the heart atherosclerosis
