Study the effect of obesity on the activity of some biochemical Parameters in sera of healthy adolescent

Abstract

A cross sectional study was carried out on [111] specimen of serum, taking from healthy obese adolescents [ aged 13-19 year], male and female were subjected to this study.The aim of this paper was study the risk of adolescent obesity to the liver function test and other biochemical parameters. The results showed that BMI,ALP,AST,ALT and glucose were significantly elevated in sera of overweight group, also in obese group the levels of BMI,ALP,AST,ALT,GGT, glucose and total protein were significantly increased as compared with the control group. But the levels of albumin in over weight and obese group were significantly decreased There was no significant change in the levels of GGT, total protein in over weight group and WHR value in both groups{overweight and obese groups}.In adolescents male the levels of BMI,GGT and glucose were significantly higher in overweight group than normal, while in adolescents female on the same group the levels of DMI, ALP, ALT, and glucose were significantly increased in male but in female the levels of WHR, ALP,AST, GGT, and glucose were significantly elevated, while the level of albumin was significantly decreased in sera of obese male and female adolescents.From the results that obtained from this study we can conclude that the liver function of obese adolescents markedly effected by obesity.
