EFFECT OF PROLACTIN ON WOMEN INFERTILITY

Abstract

Background: Acne in adult female may start during adolescence and persist or have an onset in adulthood. Acne has various psychosocial effects that impact patients’ quality of life. Treatment of acne in adult women. This study aimed to evaluate the effect the of some trace element levels such as Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and iron (Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe) and the correlated antioxidant enzymes, SOD1 and GRx in Iraqi women with acne vulgaris. Subjects and Methods: This study enrolled of 50 woman with acne vulgaris completed diagnosis and 40 woman without any apparent skin disorders as control group. The two groups were compared in light of the measured variables. Determination of Zn, Cu, Mn, and Fe were done by spectrophotometric kits while GPx and SOD were estimated by ELISA. Results: The results of present study suggesting significant differences in levels of Zn, Cu, and Mn (p-vale<0.05) between both groups but also the results not showing any statistically differences in levels of iron (p-value>0.05). from the current study we suggesting statistical significant differences in antioxidant enzymatic activity of SOD1 and GRx between AV and control group (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: The levels of trace element Zn, Cu, and Mn decrease in AV group but Fe not change, the SOD1 and GRx activity decrease in AV group compare to control.
