Abstrakt: The study was based to find out the effect of iron deficiency anemia on glutathione concentration, and the level of peroxynitrite was taken as an indication of the change in oxidative stress levels for patients with iron deficiency anemia. Sixty-one random samples were collected from a specialized laboratory in the city of Mosul, and the samples were from women whose ages ranged from 17 to 50 years. The samples were divided into three groups, the first group included severe anemia, and the second group had a blood test result within the average limits, and the third group was the control group for women without anima. When a comparison was made between the three groups, a significant decrease in the concentration of glutathione was found, followed by a rise in the level of peroxynitrite in the first and the second group when compared with the third group in which the concentration of peroxynitrite decreased and glutathione increased. The study also included conducting biochemical tests that included zinc, copper and iron. The results showed a decrease in zinc in the first and second group compared to the third group, while copper decreased in the first group compared with the second and third. Iron decreased in the first and second groups only. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
