Master’s Thesis at the University of Basrah Investigates the Relationship Between Leptin and Apelin in Patients
A master’s thesis at the College of Science, University of Basrah, investigated the relationship between leptin and apelin with albumin, total protein, and C-reactive protein in patients with hypertension.
The thesis, submitted by student Zahraa Ahmed Muteb, aimed to explore the potential use of leptin, apelin, and albumin as biomarkers for monitoring patients with hypertension.
The study comprised four chapters, in which the student examined novel parameters considered regulatory hormones—namely apelin and leptin—and their associations with blood proteins such as albumin, globulin, total protein, and C-reactive protein in hypertensive patients.
