The lecturer, Asst. Prof. Dr. (Qaisar Abdul Sajjad Muhammad), and Asst. Prof. Dr. (Alaa Hussein Al-Safi) from the Department of Biology at the College of Education for Pure Sciences publish a research entitled Preparation and characterization of nanocomposite from fresh green Asparagus Officinalis L. Stems and study of its biological efficacy in treating polycystic ovary syndrome induced by metformin suppository. In the journal (Ginekologia i Poloznictwo Medical Project). Within the impact factor (Q4). The research aimed to prepare and diagnose the green nanocomposite and evaluate its biological effectiveness before and after loading it with metformin in female white rats induced with polycystic ovary syndrome, as the preparation and diagnosis of the green nanocomposite of fresh soft asparagus stalks. The nanocomposite was prepared by sifting 20% fresh asparagus plant on 80% silver nitrate solution. The research also included several axes on studying the effect of therapeutic treatments on some of the studied immune parameters, as (25) female white rats were taken and divided into five groups represented by the negative control group (G1), the polycystic ovary syndrome induction group (G2), the group treated with free metformin (G3), the group treated with free asparagus nanocomposite (G4), and the group treated with asparagus nanocomposite loaded with metformin (G5). Then the treatment was loaded on them after which they were diagnosed. The study concluded that the atomic force microscope images showed changes in the surface of the nanocomposite loaded with the treatment, and that all these changes were within the nanoscale sizes and dimensions that are consistent with the results of the infrared spectrum. The immunological results indicated a significant increase (P<0.05) in the levels of cytokines IL-10 and IL-17 in the second group (G2), the PCOS induction group, compared to the control group (G1), while we note that there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the level of cytokine IL-10 in all treatment groups (G3-Meto., Asp.NPs – G4, G5- Asp.NPs+Meto.) compared to the PCOS induction group (G2), while a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the level of IL-17 was observed in all treatment groups (G3-Meto., Asp.NPs – G4, G5- Asp.NPs+Meto).
