Evaluation of the Effectiveness of some Enzymes and Lipids in the Blood of Patients with Atherosclerosis

In this study, 165 blood samples were collected, 50 samples from a healthy person as a control and 115 samples from atherosclerosis patients. An injury was diagnosed under supervision of specialized doctors in the AL-Salam Teaching Hospital / Catheterization unit. The study included the evaluation activity of some enzymes and lipids. Results showed a significant (p0.05 ) increase activity of enzymes: plasma killkrein in plasma, caspas_3 (cas_3)in plasma, lipoxgenase (Lox) in serum and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum (AST), while no change has occurred in the activity of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum, but observed significant (P0.05) decrease in the activity of catalase (CAT) in serum.Also, it was observed a significant (P0.05) increase in lipid cholesterol levels serum, Triglycerides in serum. The results indicate elevated levels in low-density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL_C), TG and very low-density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL_C) while it was insignificant (P0.05) level in high-density Lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL_C).
