Physiological Important of Minerals in Fertility of Women: Comparison of Pregnant Women's Minerals in Urban and Rural Areas Al-Taee Nada Saad Naji Department of Environmental Pollution, College of Environmental Sciences, University of AL-Qasim Green, Iraq Online published on 8 August, 2019. Abstract Minerals play an important role in maintaining health. Changes in concentration of some essential minerals may be a potential risk to maternal health. The study is designed to examine micro-minerals concentrations: lead (Pb+2), cadmium (Cd+2), copper (Cu+2) and zinc (Zn+2); and macro-minerals concentrations: calcium (Ca+2), sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) in serum of pregnant females living in urban and rural regions. And involved 160 pregnant women: about 80 pregnant women from urban areas and 80 pregnant women from rural areas, ranged in age from 16 to 35 age groups. The values of Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Na+ and K+ in serum were significantly lower in pregnant women living in rural regions for both age groups than urban pregnant women. While the concentration of Cu2+ and Ca2+ was significantly higher among pregnant women living in rural areas for both age groups than urban pregnant women. The variance in concentration of minerals in both regions due to nutrient deficiencies or lifestyle change may be a danger factor for fertility of pregnant women in both areas. Top Keywords Maternal serum, Micromineral, Macromineral, Rural Area, Urban Area. Top | |
