چکیده
The effects of dexamethasone at different dose regimens on some haematological parameters and serum biochemistry were studied in the camel. Dexamethasone increased the serum concentration of glucose as well as neutrophils and total leukocyte count in the blood. Conversely, the serum concentrations of potassium and phosphorus and lymphocyte count in blood were decreased by dexamethasone treatment. Dexamethasone, however, had no effect on the activities of CPK and gamma-GT, on the serum concentrations of creatinine, BUN, total bilirubin, cholesterol and Na and on PCV, Hb, ESR, MCV and MCHC values.

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...

Morphological and histochemical study of the abomasal epithelium in camel (Camelus dromedarius) wascarried out by light and scanning electron microscopes. The lining of the abomasum was divided into fourregions, i.e. cardiac, pseudocardiac, fundic and pyloric. Our investigation revealed that the cardiac andpseudocardiac regions occupy a wide part of the abomasum in camel and it reaches approxim...
