Abstract
The study designed to evaluate the inhibin B and sexual hormones levels with atherosclerosis. One hundred volunteers resecived at private laboratory between 4/2017 to 7/2017in Kirkuk city (eighty volunteers with atherosclerosis and twenty apparently healthy subjects) were used. Then, volunteers divided to two groups. The first group was including apparently healthy and the second group was including patients (Wt:70-90 kg and age average 50-65 years). Laboratory diagnosis showed a decrease in inhibin B, Testosterone, Lutenizing hormone (LH) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in patient group. Moreover, all parameter levels showed significant (P<0.05) decrease in all patients compare with all healthy subject group. It was concluded from this study that the atherosclerosis may led to decrease in an inhibin B and sexual hormones levels.
