Preliminary pharmacological investigations on camel urine (Camelus dromedarius)
نویسنده
چکیده
Pharmacological effects of camel urine (CU), its protein precipitate (PP), diluted urine (DU) and chloroformic extract (CE) were investigated. The PP inhibited the spontaneous movements of the isolated rat duodenum at a dose rate of 0.1ml/bath. Diluted female camel urine (0.4 ml/bath) or its protein precipitate (0.8 ml/bath) on rat fundus and rabbit jejunum revealed serotonin like effect which was antagonized by serotonin blocker cypohyptadine (0.2 ml /bath). In addition crude female camel urine produced transient relaxation on rabbit jejunum followed by increased contraction on first washing. chloroformic extract produced no effect on rat duodenum, fundus and rabbit jejunum, whereas rabbit and chick rectum showed slight changes in the frequency and amplitude contractions.

A comparative study of milk serum proteins in camel (Camelus dromedarius) and bovine colostrum
Camel (Camelus dromedarius) whey proteins were detected and compared to bovine whey proteins using size exclusion chromatography columns on HPLC. Camel whey proteins such as serum albumin and a-lactalbumin appear to possess molecular weights similar to the respective bovine whey proteins. Camel whey lacks b-lactoglobulin and consists of large amount of serum albumin, compared to bovine whey. Ca...

Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a pluripotency transcription factor that helps in generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We sequenced for the first time the full coding sequence of Camelus dromedarius KLF4 (cKLF4), which is also known as the Arabian camel. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the molecular weight and the isoelectric point of cKLF4 protein to be 53.043 kDa and 8.74, resp...
