Exploring the Link Between Vitamin B Levels and Metabolic Syndrome Risk: Insights from a Case-Control Study in Kazakhstan.

: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a collection of metabolic disorders that include insulin resistance, central obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The prevalence of MS affects 20-30% of adults worldwide, leading to serious health, social, and economic issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and altered dynamics, plays a pivotal role in MS by impairing glucose oxidation.

THE IMPACT OF BIRTH WEIGHT ON INFANT MORTALITY IN KAZAKHSTAN.

Introduction: Recognizing the importance of birth weight is fundamental to addressing public health challenges associated with maternal and child health. Birth weight serves as a critical indicator, offering insights into mortality, stunting, and the development of chronic diseases later in life. This study delves into fertility and infant mortality trends in Kazakhstan, with a specific focus on understanding urban-rural disparities and gender variations in mortality rates.

Combined Effect of Gamma Radiation and Heavy Metals on Some Living Organisms.

The purpose of this study was to systematise scientific publications on the combined effect of gamma radiation and heavy metals on living organisms. For this purpose, the method of analysis was applied, by means of which scientific papers in PubMed, Google Scholar, and other related databases were analysed for compliance with the inclusion criteria, where the objects of research were toxic effects of radiation and heavy metals on cells and adaptation processes. The results revealed that the study of the problem was carried out on organisms such as microalgae, fungi, weed and agricultural plants, fish, laboratory rats, and human cell cultures.

The relationship between vitamin D and adolescents' parathyroid hormone and bone mineral density.

Introduction: To detect the relationship between 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) and adolescents' parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone mineral density (BMD).

Material And Methods: Two hundred adolescent girls were recruited for this cross-sectional comparative study. After detailed evaluation, a pelvic sonography was performed for the studied adolescents to rule out any pelvic pathology.

Genetic regulation of testosterone level in overweight males from the Kazakh population and its association with hypogonadism.

Male hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction in different populations are associated with excess body weight. A key aspect in most studies is the metabolism of sexual hormones, primarily testosterone. At the same time, the binding protein sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) can play a large role, as it determines the ratio of total and bioavailable testosterone in blood, i.

Candidate Genes for Prediction of Efficacy and Safety of Statin Therapy in the Kazakh Population.

The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of mutation of the cytochrome genes and transport proteins SLCO1B1 and MDR1 in patients with coronary heart disease in the Kazakh nation. A prospective cohort clinical and genetic study was conducted. The study was conducted in 2017-2019.

The levels of oxidative stress in a combination of stress factors.

We studied the effect of the combined action of ionizing radiation and induced immobilization stress on the lipid peroxidation process and antioxidant protection of organs (mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, adrenal glands, thymus, and liver) and immune cels - the blood lymphocytes. Results were obtained on the role of free-radical oxidation in combination with exposure to ionizing radiation and immobilization stress at an early stage in the experiment. Gamma radiation in the acute period resulted in significant changes in lipoperoxidation and antioxidant systems.
