A short communication nutritional observation study

Abstract

Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional dysfunction in society and the vital risk determinant for several relevant disorders. The first step of obesity assessment is calculated anthropometric measures and, secondly, measure biological and nutritional profiles. The current purpose is to investigate the relationship between BMI with biochemical profile, Vitamin B12, Fe, and cortisol in the volunteer’s population. There is an appositively connection between body mass index (BMI) with cortisol, liver and kidney profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), Cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and negative relationship between BMI and Vitamin B12, Fe, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the present study. There is a significant elevation of cortisol, lipid profile, FBS, liver, and kidney function with BMI in the current work in females more than males compared to a reference range, and a significant decrease in Fe and vitamin B that can be due to diet habits, BMI, malabsorption in obesity condition, hormones affect or genetic variations between male and female. That will need further investigation.

A Bio-Indicator Pilot Study Screening Selected Heavy Metals in Female Hair, Nails, and Serum from Lifestyle Cosmetic, Canned Food, and Manufactured Drink Choices

“…The relationship between stress and heavy metals was confirmed in a previous publication. The investigation reported that there was a positive relationship between the measured heavy metals and cortisol hormone levels in plasma [ 77 , 78 ], which agrees with the current results, as this position also represents the interaction with cortisol and receptor proteins; moreover, the current results report the binding energy among Cr, Cd, Pb, and Al and cortisol, which may also lead to increases in stress and inflammatory markers and enzymes, as mentioned in our previous publications [ 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 ]. Also, other previous publication report relationships among heavy metals and COX-2 and other inflammatory markers, such as LOX and increased oxidative stress [ 61 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 ], and this agrees with our current results, where there is a high binding affinity between COX-2 and LOX.…”
