Evaluation of uric acid levels and other biochemical parameters among Gout patients with Ketogenic diet in Erbil province.

Gout is a systemic disorder that occurs due to an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the tissues. The association between the Ketogenic diet and uric acid concentration has been poorly established. This study aims to evaluate and assess the association of Serum uric acid and other variables with ketogenic diet among Gout patients in comparison with Healthy control subjects.

Extraction and comparative study of seasonal antioxidant activity using Nostoc species isolated from Gali Ali Bag, Erbil.

Seasonal variation of water, antioxidant activities as algal pigments, total antioxidant activities, DPPH, total phenolic compound using three solvents, methanol, acetone, and diethyl ether, of two algal species, N. commune and N. muscarum, were assessed.

Evaluation of the antioxidant activity of Betula pendula leaves extract and its effects on model foods.

Context: Betula pendula Roth (Betulaceae) exhibits many pharmacological activities in humans including anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. However, the antioxidant activity of BP towards lipid degradation has not been fully determined.

Objective: The BP ethanol and methanol extracts were evaluated to determine antioxidant activity by an in vitro method and lyophilized extract of BP was added to beef patties to study oxidative stability.
