Obesity is one of the health problems in the developing and developed countries. Obesity subjects the individuals with metabolic and endocrine disorders. It is obvious that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency may lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thus, obesity increases the risk of vitamin D deficiency. Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents w...

The overall incidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Iranian population is estimated around 10%-14.9%. G6PD deficiency is an X-linked disorder and 80% of donors are usually male. At present, donors’ blood is not routinely screened for G6PD deficiency in Iran blood bank where for detecting such enzyme deficiency, reliance is placed on pre-donation data. Thus, the G6PD ...

cobalt (co) deficiency occurs in many parts of world especially in tropical and subtropical countries.primary co deficiency occurs only in places where the soil is deficient in co. the type of soil and the presence of other substances like manganese and lime influence the absorption of co (secondary co deficiency). to determine the co status in shahrekord district, iran, several important farms...

desferroxamine (desferal) is used tochelate iron in thalassemia, a disease of very high prevalence in various parts of lran. we have investigated intestinal zinc absorption in desferal-treated rats which, in pilot experiments, showed low serum levels of both iron and zinc. intraperitoneal administration of ten 0.5 g doses of desferal (one injection every other day) to male rats produced severe ...

glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is an enzyme deficiency of the red blood cells and the most important disease of hexose monophosphate pathway. the role of hemolysis in the pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice due to g6pd deficiency is in contencious. our aim is to study the role of hemolysis in neonatal jaundice associated with g6pd deficiency. this prospective descriptive s...

background: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency is the most frequent genetic enzymatic disorder in hu­man, which is inherited as an x-linked gene. it encodes a housekeeping enzyme, which is vital for cell survival. accord­ing to previous investigations, mediterranean mutation (c563t) of g6pd gene is the most prevalent mutation in some prov­inces of iran and neighboring countries...
