Study of some blood parameters, liver function indicator and lipoproteins level in smoking sportsmen

Abstract

The present study aims to find out some blood parameters, indicators of liver function and lipoproteins level in athletes smokers. Research sample included 81 person divided into four groups: Smoker Sportsmen SS (15) , Smoker ordinary SO (25) , No Smoker Sportsmen NSS (20) , No Smoker Ordinary NSO (21). The blood samples were taken for checking RBC and WBC, PCV, Hb, liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP),blood proteins (total protein, albumin), lipoproteins (Total cholesterol, Triglycerides TG, High and Low density lipoprotein HDL &LDL). The statistical analysis showed that RBCs, WBCs count , Hb level , PCV and ALP enzyme have elevated levels in smokers group (SS, SO), while Total Protein and albumin were decreased, but the enzyme AST and ALT were rised in SS group compared to the remaining groups (P˂0.05). TC level was high for the (SS, SO) groups, while TG and LDL level was more increased in group SO. The level of HDL was decreased in smokers group (SS, SO) (P˂0.05). We conclude from the foregoing that smoking possessed harmful effects on the human body and sports may reduce the harmful effect of smoking, as that of the resolve to cut smoking advised them(smokers) to perform moderate training to remove the accumulated effect of smoking on the various organs of their body.
