Evaluation of Plasma Levels of Interleukin 6 and Iron Status of Football Players in a Nigerian University

Abstract

To determine the levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and iron status of football players in Madonna University, Elele, Rivers State, Nigeria. A total number of 100 subjects were recruited for the study, comprising of 50 of football players before playing football (25 males and 25 females) and 50 of football players after playing football (25 males, 25 females) from Madonna University Nigeria, Elele Campus, Rivers State, Nigeria. The data obtained from the study were presented as Mean SD in tables and analysed using student t-test for parametric data using SPSS version 20. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The results showed significant increase (p=0.004) in interleukin 6 (IL-6) of football players after playing compared to it before playing and no significant change (p=0.505) in the iron level of football players after playing compared to before playing respectively. The results also showed no significant change in interleukin 6 compared among football players based on gender and age groups and no significant change in the iron level of all the subjects. The study showed increase an in interleukin 6 (IL-6) of the football players after playing compared to the level before playing which shows that the physical activity increases the level of interleukin 6 and but has no effect on the iron level after football game.

The Vital Role of Blood Transfusions during Pregnancy: A Comprehensive Review

“…Timely administration of blood products, including packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelets, and sometimes clotting factors, is essential to replace lost blood volume and correct coagulopathies. [35][36][37][38] Furthermore, a multidisciplinary approach involving obstetricians, hematologists, anesthesiologists, and blood bank specialists is crucial in optimizing transfusion therapy for obstetric hemorrhage. The aim is not only to prevent maternal complications but also to ensure the preservation of fetal wellbeing during these critical moments.…”

“…However, because there is a strong association between the ability to maintain long-term submaximal exercise and the activity of iron-dependent oxidases, endurance performance at reduced exercise intensity is more closely associated with tissue iron concentration. Is related to tress on muscles and lymphocytes along with monocytes can change in interleukin 6 and iron levels after a volleyball game, and this study needs to be done to determine what is happening in the players [21,22].…”
