Zinc and Copper Levels in Seropositive Toxoplasmosis Women in Mosul – Iraq

Abstract

The aim of this Study was to investigate the effects of Toxoplasma gondii infection on levels of zinc and copper in seropositive toxoplasmosis women in Mosul city. Serum zinc and copper levels were measured in (77) women whose -Toxoplasma gondii antibodies were Positive , in addition to (30) sero -negative healthy women , as control group. The average zinc concentration in serum from sero -positive women was significantly ( P < 0.05) lower than control group. Howevor compared to the healthy women , the copper concentration in serum of sero-positive women were significantly ( P <0.05) higher.

“…Bottom left: Current 90% c.l. limits on DM-nucleon scattering through a heavy mediator from searches for elastic DM-nucleus scattering from SuperCDMS-CPD [107] and CRESST-III [108] (solid lines), and from searches for the Migdal effect from DM-nucleus scattering from the semiconductor experiments SENSEI [75,109], CDMSlite [91], CDEX [49], and EDELWEISS [110] (short-dashed lines) and from the noble-liquid experiments XENON10 [51], XENON100 [51], and XENON1T [56]. Bottom right: Constraints on dark photon dark matter absorption are from SENSEI (orange) [38,53,75], DAMIC (dark orange) [111,112], EDELWEISS (dark blue) [101], XENON10 (blue), CDMSlite (dark orange) [15], XENON1T (blue) [104,105], and the Sun (green) [15,113,114].…”
