PhD Thesis at the University of Samarra Evaluates Lipid Kinetics and Some Physiological and Biochemical Variables

A PhD thesis at the College of Education, University of Samarra, titled “Evaluation of Lipid Kinetics and Some Physiological and Biochemical Variables in Workers of Different Professions in the City of Samarra (2021-2024)” was conducted by researcher Rasha Kanaan Mohammed.

The researcher aimed to investigate the impact of pollutants from the General Company for the Pharmaceutical Industry in Samarra, the hospital’s radiology department, gas station workers, and employees of the power plant (Jalsiyah) in Samarra on lipid kinetics in the human body. Additionally, the study examined the factors influencing hormones, infertility, and oxidative stress and how to mitigate their harmful effects.

The thesis results showed that pollutant exposure to adipose tissue led to an increase in leptin and resistin hormones and a decrease in adiponectin. The pollution also impacted oxidative stress and liver enzymes, affecting testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
