Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate the infection of toxoplasmosis on some physiological variables in both pregnant and aborted women reviews for government hospitals and some women's clinics and compare them with healthy women in Kirkuk. The ages of (20 -40) years have been collected (90) blood sample of women which was distributed to three groups and at 50 samples of pregnant women, 20 samples of aborted women, 20 sample of healthy women, which were considered to be in the control group, the IgM and IgG rate was estimated, as well as the concentrations of both LH, progesterone and testosterone hormones were estimated. The results of the present study show a significant increase of) p ≤ 0.01) in the rate of IgM in pregnant women (3.96±1.83) pg/ml and in aborted reached )5.03±1.41)pg/ml compared to the control group (0.68± 0.39) pg/ml. It also showed an increase in the IgG antibody rate for pregnant women (7.61 ± 2.39) pg/ml and aborted (2.85± 0.59) pg/ml compared to the control group) 1.72 ±0.78) pg/ml. The results of the present study showed a significant increase (p≤ 0.01) in the concentration of LH hormone in aborted women at a rate of (3.97 ± 0.24) IU / ml compared to pregnant women infected with toxoplasmosis gondii which reached (0.54 ±0.04) IU / ml and with the control group which reached ( 2.94±0.71) IU / ml. The results showed an increase in the concentration of the progesterone in pregnant women (15.4 ± 2.26) ng /ml infected with toxoplasmosis while there were no differences in aborted women (9.79 ± 1.97) ng /ml compared to the control group( 9.35 ± 1.76)) ng /ml. The results of the current study also showed a significant increase in the concentration of testosterone in the aborted women ( 1.66 ± 0.11) ng /ml infected with toxoplasmosis compared to the pregnant group (0.12 ± 0.28) ng /ml and control group ( 0.56± 0.28) ng /ml.
