Abstract | ||
The study includes two main groups; the first group consists of (90) during delivery women, while the second consists of (90) new born children. The two groups are divided into other subgroups depending on whether they are anemic and non anemic. The first group contains (66) anemic women and (24) non anemic women, While the second group contains (23) anemic newborn and (67) non anemic new born. Total levels of protein and cholesterol have been checked in the subgroups in addition to the effect of anemia on these variables and the changes in total cholesterol and protein levels in regard to weight of the newly born. Variations of these variables depending on sex in the subgroups of newly born have also been checked. The study has revealed that total levels of cholesterol in during delivery anemic women were significantly high in comparison with their levels in non anemic women, their rates range (186 ±18.51) and (163±23.54) mg/dl for each of the two groups, respectively. Moreover, total protein levels were higher in non anemic women than in anemic women ranging (6.97±0.76) and (6.16±0.6) gm/dl, respectively (p < 0.05). Total cholesterol levels in anemic newborn were not significantly different from non anemic children, whereas total protein levels in non anemic children were higher compared with anemic children , rates rang (7.59±0.72) and (6.69 ±0.91) respectively(p<0.05). As for the relationship between the sex of the child and the studied biochemical variables in the sub groups, child sex had no effect on total cholesterol levels, whereas total protein levels varied; Differences were significant between male and female anemic children, while differences were not significant between male and female non anemic children. Also differences were significant between anemic and non anemic male children, whereas they were significant between anemic and non anemic female children (p<0.05). The study has also shown that weights of non anemic children were higher in comparison with anemic children, they were (3.4±0.38) and (3.02±0.47) respectively (p<0.05). Differences in weight between female and male anemic children were not significant; also they were not significant in male and female non anemic children. Differences in weight between anemic and non anemic children were significant; also they were significant between anemic and non anemic female children. There was a difference in the relationship between weights of anemic and non anemic children and total levels of protein and cholesterol in female and male children. In non anemic children, the relationship between total protein levels and the weight of male and female children was slightly significant (r= 0.357), while it was not significant in terms of total cholesterol levels with weights of female and male children. There was a reversible relationship between total protein levels in anemic male children and their weights (r=-0.448), while in female children the relationship was slightly significant(r=0.313). Total cholesterol levels in anemic male children had a high significant relationship (r=0.914) with their weight, while it was not significant in anemic female children. | ||
