| Abstract | ||
| The effect of fasting in Ramadan on some hematological values such as blood glucose and lipid profile in addition to urea and uric acid in human was studied. Thirty one healthy adult employees of college of Women Education/ University of Mosul, IRAQ were identified as subjects to perform the experiment. The subjects (14 males and 17 females) were aged between 30 and 66 years (BMI range 22.5-25.5Kg/m2) and were fasting for the whole month. Blood samples were taken one week before Ramadan then after 10 and 25 days of fasting in Ramadan and one week after the fasting. The blood samples were analyzed for fasting blood sugar FBS (glucose), plasma triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC) , low and high-density lipoprotein (LDL-C and HDL-C), urea and uric acid. Results show that blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL-c, urea and uric acid in both men and women were significantly (P<0.05) decreased during fasting in Ramadan. However, HDL-c level was significantly (P<0.05) increased during fasting in Ramadan. Results also show that plasma TG in men comparing with women was significantly (P<0.05) decreased. It is concluded that there were protective effects of fasting in Ramadan on some hematological values such as blood glucose and lipid profile. | ||
