INTRODUCTIONThe glycemic status means the level of glucose in a person's blood. This status is measure by using the term hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. In general the normal range of blood glucose level for most of the people is about 80 to 120 mg/dl (3.66 to 7.8 mmol/L). Hyperglycemia or high blood sugar is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. This is generally a glucose level higher than 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dl) but symptoms may not ABSTRACT Background: Glycemic status means blood glucose level in an individual is measure by using the term hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma whereas hypoglycemia is below normal level of glucose in blood. Abnormal Glycemic status develops various short as well as long term health complications. Constant monitoring of health status of an individual's is important in maintaining good glycemic status in preventing development of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia related complication. Methods: Female students ages 20 -23 of hall resident and non resident of Jessore University of Science and Technology were randomly selected. Fasting blood glucose data and Body Mass Index (BMI) were collected on the basis of family status, income and eating pattern, family environments using standard laboratory procedures. Results: The study found that 68% resident students were in hypoglycemic whereas 60% nonresident female students were in hypoglycemic but hyperglycemic and acute hyperglycemic effect was totally absent in both group of students. Differences of BMI irregularities of both groups of students were not observed. Most of residential students (88%) were only depends on the provided food in the dining hall. Whereas nonresident students majority of them are belonged to upper middle class, living in their own house and their eating patterns were better than residential female students. Therefore, most of the nonresident female students are able to intake nutritious foods. As a result the hypoglycemic students were found less abundant in nonresidential student compared to the resident group. Therefore dieting habit is one of the most important reasons to develop irregular glycemic status. Conclusions:The need of awareness of good health care practice, intake good quality nutritious diet, avoid of abnormal dieting practice is prerequisite to maintain static glycemic status which directly linked to good health.
Serum thyroid hormone levels have been assayed to evaluate the thyroid hormonal function in Vitiligo patients of Bangladesh. The levels of TSH, T3 and T4 in the serum of Vitiligo patients have been analyzed in both the male and female subjects. Results of hormonal assay indicated that some hormonal changes occurred in the Vitiligo patients as compared with the healthy control. In female Vitiligo patient's, TSH level was increased remarkably as compared to the control male patients, but T3 and T4 became lower than the normal range whereas, in case of male patients,T4 level was significantly higher than the T3 and TSH level. TSH level was significantly elevated in the female patients compared with the male patients.
This study is focus on the biochemical analysis to investigate the condition of different biochemical parameters for the Vitiligo patients. This biochemical analysis deals with the blood serum level of random blood sugar, bilirubin, urea, total protein, SGOT, SGPT, alkaline phosphatase, total cholesterol and uric acids. The increasing some of the biochemical parameters were statistically significant with the age groups. Random blood sugar analysis of the 125 patient's age group 31-40, 41-50 and above 50 significantly higher than the control group. No significant changes were observed in serum bilirubin, serum urea, serum creatinine, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and serum asparate amino transferase (AST) level in different age group of Vitiligo patients. In this study, the serum total proteins were slightly decreased in the age group patients below 10 and 11-20 as compared to healthy controls. The average serum total protein level of the below 10 and 11-20 age group patients were 5.31 g/dl and 6.50 g/dl respectively, whereas the controls were 5.95 g/dl and 6.92 g/dl respectively. Serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and serum uric acid levels were significantly changed in the age group 11-20 and 31-40 compared with the healthy control. The average serum cholesterol level, triglyceride (TG) level and uric acid level were 152.17 mg/dl, 90.27 mg/dl, 4.75 mg/dl and 173.40 mg/dl, 149.95 mg/dl, 5.54 mg/dl respectively for the patients of 11-20 and 31-40 years age group. The controls of these parameters for the 11-20 years and 31-40 years age groups were 150.57 mg/dl, 94.41 mg/dl, 4.28 mg/dl and 156.75 mg/dl, 101mg/dl, 4.77mg/dl respectively. These biochemical studies on Vitiligo indicated that there was no significant changed observed in some biochemical parameters in the different age group of Vitiligo patients but some biochemical parameters like total protein, total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), uric acid and random blood sugar level were significantly changed in different age group of Vitiligo patients specially among the 11-20 and 31-40 years age group. This biochemical studies would be helpful to know details about the pathological condition of the Vitiligo patients associated with other disease.
