The demand to camel’s (Camelus dromedaries) milk is increasing worldwide. The new advances in the dairy industry have made the camel milk production on the commercial level is possible. The camel mammary glands immune system is not explored in detail. This study was conducted to identify the cell adhesion molecules involved in the regulation of the cells trafficking to the camel mammary glands ...

In the current study, we investigated role of camel milk and pistachio in muscle growth rats with cancer-induced sarcopenia. Female Sprague Dawley weighing 180 – 200 grams were selected for a bioefficacy trial 13 weeks divided into four groups: G1 (negative control), G2 (positive G3 (normal diet + milk), G4 based product). Tumors induced by administering 50 mg/kg 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene ...

The peptidoglycan recognition protein, PGRP, known as an intracellular component of neutrophils, has been isolated from camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk by acid precipitation followed by heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography of the supernatant. The mean concentration in milk was about 120 mg/L. It decreased during lactation by 19% and increased in the event of severe mastitis by 45%. The pr...

Prevalence and distribution of Escherichia coli O157 and non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in samples collected along raw and fermented camel milk marketing chain was assessed. A combination of culture media and immunomagnetic separation followed by typing for associated virulence factors and serotypes was performed. Thirty six percent (36%) of the isolates haboured either ...

Objectives: Although breast milk is considered the best nutritional option for neonates, use of traditional supplements such as sugar water, camel thorn, and flix weed in the first week of life of infants is quite common in Iran and many other countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether consuming such supplements has any impact on infant’s breastfeeding behavior. Materials and Meth...

Diabetes is a common metabolic disease that causes cardiovascular disease. Insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs are the treatment for diabetes, but high percentage of patients cannot use allopathic rely on natural alternative healings. Camel milk with therapeutic properties, good source vitamins C, minerals such as Mn, iron, Cu, Zn; immunoglobulins compared to cow milk. camel great substitute du...

Brucellosis was studied in 2,225 camels, 20 camel nomads and 33 abattoir workers in certain nomadic localities in Sudan, using serum and milk samples. Lymph nodes, testicular tissues and udder tissues from positive camels and hygroma aspirates from three affected cows were used for isolation of Brucella. Serum samples were examined by Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT), modified RBPT (mRBPT), serum ...

BACKGROUND Camel milk (CM) is gaining increasing recognition due to its beneficial effects in the control and prevention of multiple health problems. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of CM on the hepatic biochemical and cellular alterations induced by a high-fat, cholesterol-rich diet (HCD), specifically, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Seventy male Wistar...

BACKGROUND Pastoral social-ecological systems (SESs) are adaptive and complex systems rooted in the extensive exploitation of forage plants for livestock-based livelihoods and culture. There are species and relations that are foundational to the existence of these SESs. Nucularia perrinii Batt. (Chenopodiaceae) is an endemic halophyte plant of central and western Sahara seldom cited in the scie...
