Background: Obesity is a global health issue that significantly increases the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Understanding the biochemical changes involved help in early diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Objective: The current study was aimed to investigate the changes in adiponectin, leptin and some inflammatory factors in serum obese patients with Type-2 diabetes and hypertension in Thi-Qar province/ Iraq.
Material and method: The present study was conducted at the “Al-Nasiriya Teaching Hospital in Thi-Qar Governorate” and Biochemistry Laboratory in the “College of science” in the period between August (2024) to January (2025). The study included a total of 140 subjects (male and female), 105 patients diagnosed with obese (BMI ≥30) among them, and 35 as control with (BMI ˂25) and their ages range from (35–65) years. They divided into four groups as the following: Cont. group: included (35) normal healthy, Obes. group: Included (35) Just obese patients, ODM group: Included (35) obese diabetes patients and OHTN group: Included (35) obese hypertensive patients.
Results: the results in this study showed significant increase (P≤0.05) in (LEP), (Hs-CRP) and (IL-6) levels and significant decrease in (ADP) level in all patients’ groups in comparison with control group, whereas no significant change (p≤0.05) in serum HIF-1α in patients’ groups when compared with control group. While no significant deference in each serum (ADP), (LEP), (Hs-CRP), (IL-6) and (HIF-1α) levels between obese-DM group and obese-HTN group compared with obese group (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: This study concluded that the obese patients with T2DM and with HTN had high significant level of LEP and inflammatory factors and low significant level of ADP than control group.
