Different Blood Groups Have Different Obesity Levels
Journal Title: Current Trends on Biotechnology & Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective of this study was to correlate blood grouping with obesity. Total of 178 subjects were participated in this survey. The subjects were the students of Baradin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan. Presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells is called blood group system. For checking the obesity level of different blood groups, I performed a survey in different subjects. Blood group system is defined based on presence or absence of antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. Two types of blood group system are present ABO and Rh. The ABO blood group system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner. This blood group system is encoded by gene I which is single polymeric gene present on chromosome 9. Blood group A has an antigen on the red blood cells while have B antibody in the plasma. Blood group B has B antigen but with An antibody. Blood group O has no antigens but both antibodies are present in the plasma. A person with blood group A receives blood from A, O and donates to A and AB. A person with blood group B receives blood from B, O and donates to B and AB. As the persons with blood group O are called universal donor so they will donate blood to the all types but receives only from O. While AB persons are called universal acceptor, so they will receive blood from all the types but donate blood only AB persons [1].
