Objectives of the Dissertation <\/div><\/span>
[vc_column_text css=””]The aims of the study include studying the polymorphisms of the endothelin gene and studying the gene expression of EDN1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-18<\/em>, and IL-37<\/em>, along with studying the level of insulin (HbA1C+) and insulin resistance.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

Content of the Dissertation <\/div><\/span>
[vc_column_text css=””]The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hormonal status, EDN<\/em>1 gene polymorphisms, and the expression of EDN1, IL-1\u03b2, IL18<\/em>, and IL37<\/em> genes that may affect type 2 diabetes patients and a control group, which was randomly collected from 50 type 2 diabetes patients and 50 healthy controls. All samples were collected during the period (March 2023 – August 2023) at the Specialized Center for Endocrinology and Diabetes, Rusafa, Baghdad. The ages of all samples ranged between 28 and 65 years..[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>

Dissertation Recommendations<\/div><\/span>
[vc_column_text css=””]The results showed no statistically significant differences when comparing patients with the control group regarding BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference, with a p-value > 0.05. Laboratory profile results showed significant differences between patients and controls according to HbA1c, FBS, insulin, and HOMA-IR, with a p-value < 0.01. Gene expression analysis of endothelin, IL-1\u03b2, and IL-37 showed a decrease, while IL-18 showed an increase in fold gene expression in patients compared to the control group. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between age and endothelin gene expression. Meanwhile, there was a positive correlation between age and IL-1\u03b2 and IL-37 gene expression, with statistically significant differences, with a p-value < 0.05. There were also positive correlations between HbA1c and endothelin, IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and IL-37 gene expression, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Gene expression of endothelin, IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and IL-37 was associated with increased HbA1c in type 2 diabetes patients. There was a negative correlation between gene expression of endothelin and IL-18 in the studied groups. The decreased gene expression of endothelin, IL-1\u03b2, and IL-37 and the increased IL-18 may be due to the inflammatory state.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div>
