Tissue-specific isoenzyme variations in Arabian camel, Camelus dromedaries

Malate dehydrogenase, α-esterase and β-esterase isoenzymes have been analyzed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle and hump) of the Arabian Camel, Camelus dromedaries in order to study the tissue specificity of these isoenzymes. Malate dehydrogenase recorded three fractions while both esterases recorded two fractions in different studied tissu...

Arabian Sea response to monsoon variations

[1] This study aims to quantify the impact of strong monsoons on the mixed layer heat budget in the Arabian Sea by contrasting forced ocean general circulation model simulations with composite strong and weak monsoon winds. Strong (weak) monsoons are defined as years with zonal component of the Somali Jet being greater (smaller) by more than a standard deviation of the long-term mean of the Nat...

A Frameshift Mutation in KIT is Associated with White Spotting in the Arabian Camel

While the typical Arabian camel is characterized by a single colored coat, there are rare populations with white spotting patterns. White spotting coat patterns are found in virtually all domesticated species, but are rare in wild species. Theories suggest that white spotting is linked to the domestication process, and is occasionally associated with health disorders. Though mutations have been...

Hydroxyproline concentrations in ocular tissues of Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius Linn.).

Hydroxyproline (Hyp) concentrations (total, free, peptide-bound and protein-bound) in camel eye tissues were determined. Total Hyp concentration was highest in iris, followed by ciliary body, sclera, cornea, lens and retina; the difference between total Hyp concentration of iris and sclera (P < 0.05) and cornea, lens and retina (P < 0.001) was statistically significant. Cornea had the highest c...
