Evaluation of ferritin, antioxidants and some minerals with hypertension patients

Abstract

The study included evaluating the level of atrial natriuretic peptide and some biochemical indicators in people with high blood pressure. The current study included collecting 90 blood samples from patients and healthy adults, whose ages ranged between (25-55) years. and 30 blood samples for healthy people (a control group). The samples were collected from Samarra General Hospital. The study includes an assessment of ferritin, glutathione, catalase, Malondialdehyde, sodium, potassium in the serum of the samples under study. The results of the current study indicate that the ferritin level increased in the blood serum of groups G1 and G2 compared to the control groups, with no significant difference between G1 and G2. The level of glutathione and Catalase activity decreased in the serum of the two groups G1 and G2 compared to the control groups, with no significant difference between G1 and G2. As for malondialdehyde and peroxynitrite, the results showed an increase in their levels in the blood serum of groups G1 and G2 compared to control groups, with a significant difference between G1 and G2. The level of sodium decreased and potassium increased in the blood serum of groups G1 and G2 compared to control groups, with a significant difference between G1 and G2.
