The study entitled “25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 level and lipids profile in some obese adults in Samarra City-Iraq”, was accepted in the journal of Eurasian Chemical Communications, a specialized in chemistry, and classified within Clarivate containers.
The paper was presented by Dr. Othman Rashid Hamid, Head of the Department of Chemistry, and Assistant Professor Dr. Abdul Salam Tawfiq Saleh Al-Teaching in the department, and its summary stated:
Obesity is associated with community and medicinal risks that individually make it a problem.
