Assessing the Influence of Aggressiveness on Urobilinogen Level in Urine

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aggressiveness on the urobilinogen level in urine. We took 100 students of Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan for the completion of our research project. We examined urobilinogen in their urine through urine analysis. Urobilinogen is a pigment that is colorless and is produced due to the breaking of bilirubin by bacteria present in the gut. The maximum quantity of it is excreted through feces while a small amount is removed through the urine. The normal amount of urobilinogen in urine is 0.2-1 Eu per deciliter. Its amount greater than 4 mg per deciliter is not normal. Taking more carbohydrates and drugs that can change the coloration of urine to red indicate false high level of urobilinogen. Urobilinogen level can be reduced by limiting alcohol intake as it causes liver damage. Aggression is a type of hostile behavior of a person that aims at harming another individual. A gene present on the X chromosome affects aggressiveness in an individual. Noisy surroundings also contribute in developing aggressive behavior in an individual. It was concluded from the current project that usually aggressive males had urobilinogen in their urine. So, there is a connection between male aggression and urobilinogen level in urine.
