Serumleptin, Triglycerides, Cholestrol and Hdl- Cholestrol In Non Dlabetic Obese Subjects

T his study was carried out to investigate t he relationship between Serum leptin, Body Mass Index (BMI), T riglycerides, Cholesterol and HDL- Cholesterol in Non Diabetic Obese subjects comparing with healthy subject. A 36 male and female Iraqis obese were studied, mean age 50.1, 43.3 years respectively and 23 healthy subjects. Serum leptin, T riglycerides, Cholesterol and HDL- Cholesterol were measured. Leptin, T riglycerides, Cholesterol, HDL- Cholesterol and BMI significantly increased in obese males and females compared with control, but there was no significant difference in HDL- Cholesterol and BMI when compared between obese males and females. A low significant positive correlation was found between leptin and HDL- Cholesterol, and no significant difference between leptin and other types of lipids. T he findings suggested that serum leptin concentrat ion topmost in obese subjects with noticeable effect on lipid metabolism.
