Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to determine the levels of TNF-α, IGF-1, IL-6, and IL-10 protein in blood samples and their potential link to bronchitis-asthma diseases in the Iraq Duhok population, highlighting the prevalence of these long-term inflammatory diseases.
Methods: Sixty blood samples were used and separated into patients (n = 43) and control (n = 17) groups. Serum samples were separated for each individual. Elisa method was used in terms of 4 different proteins investigated in blood samples with the manufacturer's instruction brand kits.
Results: This study evaluated TNF-α, IGF-1, IL-6, and IL-10 protein levels in blood samples from asthmatic bronchitis patients in Duhok. Although these levels were elevated compared to controls, the differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The differences thought to be related to the bronchitis-asthma diseases could not be demonstrated between the patient and control groups in Iraq Duhok population. Future research should explore larger sample sizes and stratified patient groups to identify potential biomarkers.
期刊介绍:
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators is the original and foremost journal dealing with prostaglandins and related lipid mediator substances. It includes basic and clinical studies related to the pharmacology, physiology, pathology and biochemistry of lipid mediators.
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators invites reports of original research, mini-reviews, reviews, and methods articles in the basic and clinical aspects of all areas of lipid mediator research: cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, endocrinology, biology, the medical sciences, and epidemiology.
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators also accepts proposals for special issue topics. The Editors will make every effort to advise authors of the decision on the submitted manuscript within 3-4 weeks of receipt.
