Abstract
In this study, 165 blood samples were collected, 50 samples from a healthy person as a control and 115 samples from atherosclerosis patients. An injury was diagnosed under supervision of specialized doctors in the AL-Salam Teaching Hospital / Catheterization unit. The study included the evaluation activity of some enzymes and lipids. Results showed a significant (p≤0.05 ) increase activity of enzymes: plasma killkrein in plasma, caspas_3 (cas_3)in plasma, lipoxgenase (Lox) in serum and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum (AST), while no change has occurred in the activity of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum, but observed significant (P≤0.05) decrease in the activity of catalase (CAT) in serum.Also, it was observed a significant (P≤0.05) increase in lipid cholesterol levels serum, Triglycerides in serum. The results indicate elevated levels in low-density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL_C), TG and very low-density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL_C) while it was insignificant (P≤0.05) level in high-density Lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL_C).
