Master thesis in the College of Medicine, University of Karbala discusses the effectiveness of metal nanoparticles modified from pectin on the activities of pancreatic enzymes for type 2 diabetes

The thesis titled “Effectiveness of metal nanoparticles modified from pectin in the activities of serum pancreatic enzymes in type 2 diabetes” was submitted by the student (Zahraa Raad Abdul Hakim Al-Anzi).

Under the supervision of:

M. Dr.. Atheer Hamid Odeh Al-Ghanmi

a. Dr.. Serry Ahmed Abdel Sattar aims to treat obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes through the effect of nanoparticles modified with pectin polymer on pancreatic enzymes in the serum of (T2DM) patients and reduce lipid levels, as well as evaluating the relationship between pancreatic enzymes and the rest of the studied markers.

The thesis concluded that the prepared calcium pectin nanoparticles have an inhibitory effect on the activity of lipase and amylase enzymes, while the pectin nanoparticles showed an activating effect on the amylase enzyme. This allows the use of pectin nanoparticles in different forms as a carrier of diabetes drug according to the physiological condition of the diabetic patient.

The student obtained an honors degree
