Study at the University of Kerbala Highlights the Functional Evaluation of Adipokines and Their Role in Thyroid Disorders
A master’s thesis at the College of Science at the University of Kerbala discussed the functional evaluation of adipokines and the role of certain small non-coding RNA molecules in obese women suffering from thyroid disorders.
The study, presented by student Tayba Haider Abdul Amir, aimed to analyze the physiological, biochemical, and hormonal changes associated with specific levels in women with hypothyroidism.
The results revealed that decreased thyroid hormones lead to an increase in harmful cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as heightened adipokine secretion, resulting in significant changes in various gene expressions.
The study recommended expanding the research by increasing the sample size, monitoring disease progression, and analyzing the genetic variations associated with the disorder. Additionally, it suggested exploring the molecular pathways affected by certain small non-coding RNA molecules.
