The overweight is one of the main reasons for the development of diabetes, so the lipid profile is different between the diabetes and the healthy people. In addition, there is a variation between the lipids profile according to sex difference in the diabetes patients. The main goal of the current study was to assessment the relationship between lipid profiles-based sex difference of diabetes patients (with and without overweight) and control group. Methodology: In this study, the glucose level and lipid profiles were determined for one hundred and forty volunteers, thirty-nine of them were healthy as a control group (25 females and 16 males), and one hundred and two had diabetes, 50 diabetes with overweight (25 females and 25 males) and 52 diabetes without overweight (27 females and 25 males). Results: Concerning the results of glucose level, the results of the current study showed significant differences between males and females in HbA1c test of control group (P=0.024) and in PPG test of Diabetes without overweight group (P=0.033). On other hands, our results found variation between men and women in other groups but not reach to significant differences. While the results of lipids profile showed significant differences between males and females in HDL_C test of diabetes without overweight group (P=0.0246) and in LDL_C test of control group (P=0.02). At the same time, our results recorded variation between men and women in other groups but not reach to significant differences.

main causes of diabetes. The main objective of this investigation was to explore the frequency of both alpha ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase (FTO) gene_ rs9939609 and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene - rs17782313 in diabetes patient with and without obesity.: We enrolled 39 individuals as a control group and 102 as diabetes group (T2DM without obesity (N=52) and T2DM with obesity (N=50)). Genetic analysis was carry out by Tetra Primer of amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR) for both FTO SNP rs9939609 and MC4R gene rs17782313. FTO rs9939609 polymorphism between control group and diabetes patients was show significant associations. FTO rs9939609 A-A /A-T have high significantly associated between healthy group with both T2DM without obesity , and T2DM with obesity in all inheritances model except in over dominance model. MC4R ( rs17782313) gene C-C/C-T have significantly related between healthy group with both T2DM without obesity, and T2DM with obesity in Codominant and Recessive model, while no significantly associated in Dominant and Over dominant model. Our research suggested that rs9939609 in the FTO gene and rs12970134 in the MC4R gene are consider risk candidate factors in patients with diabetes. In diabetic individuals without obesity, the correlation was highly significant.

Objective: The present study was designed to test the efficacy of the chloroform extract of flax seed in the treatment of Leishmania tropica by the toxic inhibitory effect on the promastigote stage in vitro by inhibiting the growth and number of the parasite as well as detecting the genetic effects of the parasite genome using random amplified polymorphic DNApolymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) technique. Materials and Methods: The original cultures for the isolated parasites were obtained from two patients and transplanted to the liquid culture medium Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 by five samples, four of which were treated with different concentrations of the chloroform extract of flax seeds and one sample that was not treated with the extract control sample and three replicates for each sample and the parasite was counted for all samples and was conducted for them statistical analysis. DNA was extracted from all samples and RAPD-PCR Markers were performed using six primers. The results were carried over the agarose gel, the results were photographed, and the statistical analysis was performed. Results: The number of parasites decreased in an inverse relationship with the concentrations. The higher the concentration, the lower the parasite rate and the largest rate of inhibition at the concentration was 100 µg/ml. The parasite rates were 3820, 6580, 10,560, and 14,840 organisms/ml, respectively, and compared to the control group that recorded an increase in the number of parasites. In a direct relationship with time, where parasite rates reached 11,600, 19,800, 31,200, and 47,800 being/ml. Concentration showed 50 µg/ml inhibition of 50% of promastigote after 96 h of growth with comparison with the control group and that concentration of 100 µg/ml resulted in 70% inhibition (LC70) during the same period. The RAPD-PCR markers, it was found that all treatments have an effect on the DNA genetic material of the parasite. The first treatment, T1, which is the highest concentration of the extract, showed the highest number of mutant bands (24) distinct bands, divided into (14) unique bands and (10) absent bands. Followed by the T4, which is the lowest concentration of the extract that had (20) distinct bands, which were divided into (9) absent bands and (11) unique bands. Followed by the T3, with a number of mutant bands of (19) bands, divided between (10) absent bands and (9) unique bands. Followed by the T2, which obtained a number of distinct flying bands that reached (18) distinct bands, which were divided into (9) absent bands and (9) unique bands. Conclusion: It is concluded from the current study that the increased concentration has led to an increase in the generation time in a direct relationship with the concentrations. The chloroform extract has a high effect on the parasite's genome during the reproductive process, specifically when DNA is duplicated, which leads to mutations that lead to high damage to the parasite's genetics.

Volume 12

In the present study, the phenolic compounds from Linumusitatissimum (flax) seeds were in vitro extracted, isolated, and used as antileishmanial agents. The isolated fractions that contained phenols were detected by the HPLC technique and tested against the Leishmaniatropica promastigotes parasite. It was found that the studied phenols have remarkably inhibited the parasite’s growth; the 50% inhibitory concentration of the promastigotes (IC50) at the log phase of 96 hr was 50 µg phenols/ 1 ml culture. Furthermore, the extracted phenols decreased the number of generation and increased time of generation comparing with the control group. It can be concluded that the phenols show a promising antileishmanial approach and may have a potential role in finding novel antileishmanial drugs. These results were obtained as the phenolic compounds could affect the metabolism of proteins, nucleic acids, and energy of the parasite.
