Summary

The effect of coffee and body weight during the last 3 months on the level of leptin, folic acid, and vitamin B12

Detailed description

Coffee consumption has been associated with several risk factors leading to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperlipidemia. Frequent coffee consumption has beneficial effects in reducing the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, obesity, liver disease, CVDs, some types of cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Controversies concerning coffee consumption benefits and risks in regards for CVDs were mentioned in many studies. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are necessary vitamins in homocysteine metabolism which is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Leptin, is a hormone linked to obesity and it could be related to atherosclerosis. The combined effect of coffee consumption and body weight on the levels of leptin, folic aid, and vitamin B12 is not well studied. In our study, we will study the effect of coffee consumption in males with different body mass indices to see the effect of several important parameters such as leptin, Folic acid, and vitamin B12.
