Study the Activity of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) and Some Biochemical Parameters in Atherosclerosis Patients

Atherosclerosis causes significant biochemical changes, serum biochemistry was studied to investigate the correlation of these factors to Atherosclerosis. Total of 100 subjects was studied, 40 healthy individuals and 60 Atherosclerosis patients. Blood samples were collected in gel tubes from Kirkuk, General Hospital. In this study,the high level of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (P≤0.01) were observed in Atherosclerosis patients. And a number of biochemical parameters were measured, a Significantly decreased at a level of probability (p≤ 0.01) in Antioxidant Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Catalase (CAT) and increased at a level of probability (p≤ 0.01) in Antioxidant, Glutathione (GSH) and increased at level of probability (p≤ 0.01) in Lipids blood serum (TC) Total Cholesterol, (TG) Triglycerid for patients with Atherosclerosisas compared with the control group .
