Perspectives Towards Molecular Sociology: An Approximation of Molecular Biology and Sociology

Molecular sociology is used in our study to describe how behaviours of humans and /or animals can be explained. Yet, behaviours are still complex phenomena that cannot be placed in one frame. From the accumulative evidences from my previous studies and others, it is plausible to claim having fundamentals of molecular sociology. It has been demonstrated that diabetes is associated with the expression of iNOS in white matter in brains of diabetic rats compared with grey matter. These changes were significantly observed between diabetic rats and normal rats (P < 0.001). We have also found that the expression level of HSP70 has also been reduced in white matter significantly among study groups (P < 0.05). Starting from these findings, it has been possible to suggest or figure out a potential mechanism to explain diabetic neuropathy. It is also possible to associate diabetic behaviours which are characterized by being nervous and stressful. We have also demonstrated that exposure to heavy metals, particularly lead (pb) has impacts on prisoners compared with normal population. In the first study, we have demonstrated that exposure to lead reduced blood cellular components significantly compared with normal population (P < 0.05). Such blood findings may denote to intolerance and less patience that may lead to aggressiveness and violent behaviours. The same prisoners who had higher levels of lead (pb) were more likely to have violent crimes. Our findings have also demonstrated the association between lead exposure and mental retardation in a sample treated in one of rehabilitation centres. This study has demonstrated that the patients who were diagnosed with mental retardation due to inheritance to have high concentration of lead. Regarding addiction, our results revealed strong association between depression and addiction. Our results also indicated that addictive patients had low vitamin D. Other studies have indicated that some pathogens such as Toxoplasma gondii to be associated with violence and aggressiveness. Taken together, the previous conditions clearly identified the bases for molecular sociology to understand deeply the human behaviours and to adopt strategies that attenuate the effect of environment on human actions.
