Abstract:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition of increasing fat in liver of individuals
who do not consume significant amount of alcohol. The study aimed to estimate Omentin-1,
insulin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline
phosphatase (ALk) , albumin, globulin, total protein, CRP, Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol
(TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density
lipoprotein (VLDL) in the serum of NAFLD patients, and find the relationship of variation in
omentin-1 and Some Biochemical Parameters with body mass index(BMI) in Patients of
NAFLD And comparing them with to the healthy ones.
Ninety people were involved in this study (60 were patients with NAFLD and 30 healthy
individuals) from Al-Muqdudia General Hospital in Diyala province, Iraq, during the period
1/10/2021 to 30/12/2021. The ELISA Kit was used to detect serum omentin-1. A rapid
quantitative assay HS-INSULIN-CHECK-1 is used to estimate the of insulin. The CRP-latex is
a slide agglutination test for the quantitive and semi-quantitive detection of C-reacive protein
(CRP) in human serum. in serum AST, ALT, ALP, Albumin Globulin, Total Protein, TG, TC
and HDL tests were assessed using an Semi automated spectrophotometer (Humalyzer Primus).
Serum omentin-1 levels were higher in patients than in healthy subjects with significant
differences (p<0.05). Serum levels of ALT , AST and CPR were increased significantly in patients compared with controls (p<0.05). The results ALP, LDL, albumin, total protein, insulin
,and globulin showed no significant increase(p>0.05) in patients compared with controls. Serum
cholesterol, TG and VLDL were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in patients in comparison to
controls group, while HDL levels were decreased non significantly (p>0.05). Omentin-1 was
positively correlated with cholesterol, TG, LDL, VLDL, insulin, ALP and globulin BMI. Serum
omentin-1 concentrations were negatively correlated with HDL, ALT, AST, albumin and
protein. All these correlations between serum omentin-1 and biochemical parameters were
without significant different (p>0.05). The omentin-1 showed not significant association with
the anthropometries measurements.
