It was revealed after this study that the mean total serum protein of bilious subjects was 7.51 (g/dl) with standard deviation of 0.83 while the mean total serum protein of phlegmatic subjects was 7.05 (g/dl) with standard deviation of 0.63. In this way it can be said that the average total serum protein of the healthy bilious subject is higher than that of a phlegmatic subject. The T-test was applied to test the significance of the results and it was found that the difference of total serum protein level of bilious and phlegmatic subjects was highly significant (p<0.001). Keywords: Temperament (Mizaj), humor, bilious, phlegmatic, and serum total protein. INTRODUCTION: Research on the human serum proteins has been directed towards problems of physiological and biochemical interest as well as towards those of medical and genetical interest. From the physiological and biochemical point of view, the serum proteins play important roles as biological buffer systems, in the maintenance of the osmotic pressure of the blood, control of blood pH, transport of lipids, dietary nitrogen, and other inorganic elements, and in immunological and other functions. Protein is a proximate principle (Awamil-e-Qaribah) of the body because protein is an essential substance of humors (Akhlat). Proteins are essential parts of organisms and participate in virtually every process within cells. Proteins are the essential substances of which the protoplasm of the cells and the intracellular substances are built. Proteins form the fundamental basis of the structure and function of life. [1] Temperament is an empirical expression describing the humoral composition that regulates the physiological and pathological changes in the human body. Thus, there are no two individuals are same in their temperament. So each individual due his specific Temperament is said to possess certain innate strength and deficiencies, for which he reacts differently to given set of environmental conditions. The temperament is formed Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research (Multi-subject journal) Page 584 Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 ISSN 2322-0147 by interaction of opposite qualities present in the elements (Arkan). These qualities are primary four in number, namely hotness, coldness, moistness, and dryness. Thus, Unani physicians broadly classified the people into four types of Temperament either on the basis of humors. These four types of Mizaj (Temperament) are: 1).HOT & MOIST: DAMVI MIZAJ (SANGUINEOUS) 2). COLD & MOIST: BALGHAMI MIZAJ (PHLEGMATIC) 3). HOT & DRY: SAFRAVI MIZAJ (BILIOUS) 4). COLD & DRY: SAUDAVI MIZAJ (MELANCHOLIC) [2 ] The Hippocrates (460-370BC) gave the fundamental principles of Greco-Arab System of Medicine with a belief that the body of the individual is composed of four basic elements, which together, are termed as ‘Anasir-e-Arba’ or Arkan’(Elements) comprising earth, water, air and fire as different states of matter and the building blocks of everything in the universe. These four basic elements possess four different qualities, i.e. hot, cold, dry and wet. The admixture of these four basic elements results in the formation of four biological fluids or Humors viz. Blood (Dam), Phlegm (Balgham), Bile (Safra) and Black bile (Sauda); a right proportion, according to quality and quantity constitutes health and upright proportion and irregular distribution, according to their quantity and quality constitutes disease. Thus the basic principle of GreecoArabic Medicine is that the four humors represented in the human blood.[3] The Literal Meaning of Temperament (Mizaj): The literal meaning of mizajaccording to Nafis is “Intermixture” as he says “The word mizaj originated from Arabic word imtizaj meaning intermixture ”.[4] Mizaj is derived from Arabic word “mzj” which means mixing of humors. At other places it is described that mizaj refers to the intermixture of four humors within human body, it is the basis of body. (Lisan-ul-Arab) The literal meaning of the word “temperament” as given in few authentic dictionaries are as follows: [5] Temperament – combination or predominance of humours. (Chamber dictionary) Temperament is constitutionally based individual differences in emotion, attention, activity level and self-regulation. (New Concise Medical Dictionary) Temperament – the combination of intellectual, emotional, ethical a nd physical characteristics of an individual. (Taber’s encyclopedia medical dictionary) Temperament – the physical organization peculiar to the individual, which influences one’s metabolic process, manner of thought and action and the general view of life. (Stedman). Temperament is defined as that part of the personality, which is genetical ly based. Along with character and those aspects that are acquired through learning, the two together are said to constitute personality. [6] Definition of Mizaj:Galen(130-200 AD)says that: “Temperament is a quality produced by action and reaction of opposite qualities of body fluids (Akhlat). When these components interact by virtue of their respective powers (qualities) a condition is achieved which is found in equal proportions in all the components of that intermixture; this is called temperament”.[7] IbnSina(980-1037 AD) in his famous book “Al-Qanoon-fil-Tib”says:“The temperament is a quality resulting from the interaction of opposite qualities present in elements consisting of minute particles so that most of the particles of each of the elements may touch most of the others. Thus when these particles act and react on one another with their properties, there emerges from their total properties, a uniform quality which is present in all of them. This is the temperament (Mizaj)” [8] Similarly the normal temperament of an individual is defined as “a condition in which he survives comfortably with all systems of healthy life”, which varies widely as per composition and as well as other surrounding factors and circumstances in which he resides. [9] Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research (Multi-subject journal) Page 584 Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 ISSN 2322-0147 Therefore, in this universe all animates or inanimate, however alike in origin and structure does not resemble one another perfectly. The Temperament fluctuates in particular normal range of maximum and minimum limits. Whenever it crosses its normal limit, it leads to the abnormality (Su-e-Mizaj) within the body.[10] Characteristic of Safravi Mizaj (Bilious Temperament) Individuals Humor: Yellow Bile Basic Qualities: Hot and Dry (Haar&Yabis).

Basically these two main states of hotness and coldness play vital role in determination of temperament. The study was started with following aims and objectives. 1) To assess the value of total serum protein in Bilious and phlegmatic temperament through Biuret Method. 2) To analyze whether total serum protein levels in Bilious and Phlegmatic temperament are similar or dissimilar within normal healthy state. HYPOTHESES OF THE STUDY: Total serum protein would be relatively higher in Bilious than Phlegmatic temperaments because as per Unani literature, The Bilious individuals are energetic and hyperactive than phlegmatic individuals, they have excellent metabolism activities, hence they have physiologically higher level of total protein because liver plays an important role in metabolism and the metabolic rate of Safravi individuals are rapid than Balghami, therefore the level of total protein should be higher in Safravi than Balghami individuals. In comparison to Safravi, Balghami individuals are flaccid and obese body built with soft and flabby muscles and they possess more fat in their body. Fat always denotes coldness. But Safravi individuals are lean and thin they possess very little fat shows that the temperament is hot and dry.[8] METHOD OF THE STUDY:Selection of volunteers, Sample Size, and Inclusion criteria: This study was carried out in PG Lab, Department of Kulliyat, Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, during the period from 2010 -2013. Volunteers were selected randomly from students of the Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College and Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research (Multi-subject journal) Page 586 Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 ISSN 2322-0147 some other faculties of Aligarh Muslim University and Aligarh city, preference was given to students residing in hostels because their environment and nutritional status remain almost static and constant. One hundred ten (110) male volunteers in the age group of 20–35 years, having Bilious (Safravi) and Phlegmatic (Balghami) temperament were selected for the study. The reason for selecting this age group is that the volunteers in this age group are mostly healthy and disease free. Exclusion Criteria: Female volunteers and volunteers below 18years and above 35 years were excluded,the persons of Melancholic and Sanguine temperament were excluded from the study,the persons of the athletic activities, heavy exercise and gymnastics were excluded from the study, thevolunteers having a history of Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, major accident and surgery or taking steroids for long periods were excluded from this study andthe volunteers, suffering from Malnutrition, Diabetes Mellitus, Poliomyelitis, Tuberculosis, Hyperthyroidism , Hypothyroidism or any other chronic diseases, were excluded from the study. For the selection of healthy volunteers, detailed clinical history, physical, general and local examinations were done. Determination of Temperament: The assessment of temperament (Mizaj) of the volunteers was made on the basis of Ajnas-e-Ashra (ten determinants), mentioned in classical Unani literature. Categorization of individual: After determination of the temperament, selected volunteers were divided into two groups according to their temperament. Group A: Bilious temperament (Safravi Mizaj) Group B: Phlegmatic temperament (BalghamiMizaj) After determination of Bilious and Phlegmatic temperament, the volunteers were randomly called for venipuncture. All volunteers were advised to remain at fast overnight before their blood samples were drawn. The blood specimens were allowed to clot at room temperature and then centrifuged within an hour of venipuncture. The sera obtained were assayed within two hours of venipuncture. ESTIMATION OF TOTAL PROTEIN: BIURETE METHOD was adopted in order to estimate the total serum protein. The most widely used method of measuring serum protein is the Biuret Reaction. ThePrinciple of this reaction is that Peptide bonds of protein form a blue-violate colored complex with cupric ions an alkaline medium. The intensity of the color is proportional to the number of peptide bonds and the color is read at 546 nm (530-570 nm). Total protein + Biuret reagent ----->purple colored Cu-peptide bond complex (alkalineCu++) Reagents: (They were supplied by Siemens ltd) Normal Values: Total Serum Protein: 6.6-8.3 g/dl.[14] OBSERVATIONS & RESULTS: Table–01: Showing Distribution of Volunteers according to the Temperament Temperament Frequency Percentage Bilious 65 59.10 Phlegmatic 45 40.90 Total 110 100 Graph-01: Showing Distribution of Volunteers according to the Temperament Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research (Multi-subject journal) Page 587 Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 ISSN 2322-0147 Frequency Choleric, 65 Choleric Phlegmatic Total Total, 110 Phlegmatic, 45 Out of 110 volunteers, 65 were Bilious temperament and 45 Phlegmatic temperaments and their percentage of 59.10% & 40.90% respectively as displayed in Table -01and Graph. 01.

The level of total serum protein was higher in the bilious temperament volunteers as compared to volunteers of phlegmatic temperament. Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research (Multi-subject journal) Page 589 Excellence International Journal Of Education And Research VOLUME 2 ISSUE 4 ISSN 2322-0147 Result: The mean and standard deviation of total serum protein levels of bilious and phlegmatic subjects were calculated. It was revealed after this study that the mean total serum protein of bilious subjects was 7.51 (g/dl) with standard deviation of 0.83 while the mean total serum protein of phlegmatic subjects was 7.05 (g/dl) with standard deviation of 0.63. In this way it can be said that the average total serum protein of the healthy bilious subject is higher than that of a phlegmatic subject. The T-test was applied to test the significance of the results and it was found that the difference of total serum protein level of bilious (Safravi) and Phlegmatic (Balghami) subjects was highly significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: From the findings of this study following conclusion can be drawn. The individuals having bilious (Safravi) temperament have higher levels of total protein than the phlegmatic (Balghami) individuals. Thus a relationship can be established between the temperament and blood protein which validates the Unani claims that The bilious (Safravi) individuals are energetic and hyperactive than phlegmatic individuals, they have excellent metabolism activities, hence they have physiologically higher level of total protein because liver plays an important role in metabolism and the metabolic rate of Safravi individuals are rapid than Balghami, therefore the level of total protein should be higher in Safravi than Balghami individuals. In comparison to Safravi, Balghami individuals are flaccid and obese, they possess more fat in their body as compared to protein. Fat always denotes cold temperament. But Safravi individuals are lean and thin they possess very little fat shows that the temperament is hot and dry. In our study, it is clearly evident that temperament of an individual is influenced by his blood composition and its constituents. Therefore, the blood compositions play an important role in creation of temperament of an individual. The results show that there does exist a relationship between blood protein and the temperament of an individual. The need of the hour is to understand the concept & importance of temperament (Mizaj) and its application in Unani as well as other health care. REFERENCES 1.
