ESTIMATION OF VARIOUS BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND MARKERS AMONG OBESE INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

Obesity is defined as the increased or extra amount of fat deposited in the body. The purpose of this study is to determine the various biochemical parameters and markers among the obese women. Participants were randomly selected with the age group of 20-30 years of women and divided into two groups. Each group consists of 30 individuals. Group I consist of normal healthy individuals with BMI of 19-24.9 and Group II consist of obese individuals with BMI of 30-40. 3ml of venous blood was collected and distributed in plain collection tubes and centrifuged in 3000rpm for serum. Then serum was separated and analysed to estimate the LH by ELISA method using ROBONIK ELISA READER. Student t test was done to find out significant differences between the two groups. All the tests were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 level. There was a significant rise of CRP concentration among obese individuals. The mean body weight of obese individuals were 33.21. So there was a significant increase in body mass index between control and obese persons. There was no significant difference of FBS level between control and obese persons. Insulin and Insulin Resistance showed a strong significant difference between these two groups. LDL and HDL showed a strong significant difference but there was no significant difference of TGL between these two groups. Obese persons are at a very high risk of producing many disease. BMI is strongly associated with many of the biochemical parameters and markers. So this study may help the people to be aware about their body weight and risk factors prone.
