Study the Relation Between Acetylcholinesterase and Obesity in University Students

Abstract

Obesity is described as an asymmetrical body weight for height with an extreme growth of adipose tissue that is usually with the highest risk of disordered lipid profile. Obesity is caused by a sequence of excessive food intake, absence of physical motion, and hereditary predisposition. A few instances are caused primarily by genes, endocrine dysfunctions, medicines, or mental confusion. BMI gives a simple numeric test of obesity. BMIs below 20.0kg/m 2 and above 25.0kg/m 2 has been connected with significant various health problems and most of mortality incidence causes. The recent investigations indicate a relationship between obesity, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities, and short-term weight loss in obese. A total of 39 female students, 18-35 years old, involved in this investigation to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), blood lipid, and AChE in female's university students. The present study reveals a strong correlation between BMI and lipid profile. As well, there is a weak negative relation between AChE and BMI in current work. But, All results of AChE in the present results within the reference range. Further long-term studies with a higher number and different types of sexes will be needed to validate and complete evaluate the specific relation between obesity and AChE.

A Screening Pilot Study on the Relation between Body Mass Index, and Heavy Metal and Mineral Levels in College Students

“…The present studies metals showed results more than normal range except Mg, Co, Cu, Zn are within the normal range, but Fe results are less than normal range in all studied groups. These results may be due to the effect of lifestyle and environmental pollution and toxicity, including water, air, and food [6][7][8][9]. Some lighter metals and metalloids are poisonous and, thus, are named heavy metals though some heavy metals, such as gold, are not toxic.…”

“…The protocol approved by The student's weights and heights were included on a single calibrated scale (SR Scales, SR Instruments). The formula calculated body mass index (BMI): weight in kilograms (kg) divided by height in square meters (m 2 ) [1,[5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…With more convenience and multielement measurement capability, ICP-OES/ICP-MS has become an attractive instrument for simultaneously determined co-contaminants in environmental samples. The elemental profile was measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry ICP-MS (Agilent, 7500 cx) after separate serum samples and digested with nitric acid using a microwave digestion system (Milestone, Ethos 1) [9][10][11].…”

“…Fake food and canned food have heavy metals that may increase obesity, diabetes, and heart condition in the human body or severe weight loss [3][4][5]. Also, there are significant positive correlations between heavy metal, lipid profile, and obesity [5][6][7][8][9]. Thus, this study will perform in college students at Jazan University to provide primary data for the relation between BMI and heavy metal and minerals where Jazan in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a coastal city.…”

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

“…We analyzed the level of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the serum samples according to our previous publication [ 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 ]. We determined the activity of AChE with the kinetic colorimetric method according to Deutsche (1992) with the ARCHITECT systems [ 87 ].…”
