Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the portion of a proteoglycan that determine its final shape and function. The molecular structure of predominant GAG species in camel liver and lung is reported for the first time. The one-humped camel survives in an extreme, arid habitat and, thus, offers a good model to study the role of glycomics on homeostasis. Heparan sulfate (HS) from the lung and liver of t...

BACKGROUND: There is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. In order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. OBJECTIVES: This study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

The diversification of the teleost suborder Notothenioidei (Perciformes) in Antarctic waters provides one of the most striking examples of a marine adaptive radiation. Along with a number of adaptations to the cold environment, such as the evolution of antifreeze glycoproteins, notothenioids diversified into eight families and at least 130 species. Here, we investigate the genetic population st...

Heparin, a heterogeneous anionic polysaccharide, is the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) used clinically an anticoagulant. This anticoagulant activity is primarily derived from its binding to the serine protease inhibitor antithrombin III, a potent inhibitor of thrombin (factor IIa) and factor Xa. Heparin is a complex natural product and its in vitro synthesis is not yet possible due to the difficulty o...

The thyroid gland is the largest classic endocrine organ that effects many organs of the body and plays a significant role in the process of Metabolism in animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of thyroid disorders diagnosed by ultrasound and microscopic Lesions of the thyroid during the slaughter of apparently healthy One Humped Camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Iran. R...

in this study 121 prescapular, prefemoral and popliteal lymph node of male healthy camel from mashhad abattoir were collected. after collecting of specimens factors such as: length, width, thickness, weight, volume and density of each lymph node were measured by caliper device. all factors were analyzed and compared using excel program. it was revealed that, normal dimensions of right prescapul...

The economic importance of tick infestation on camels are important as they are important meat and milk producer animals in the less vegetation area of Iran and their health and production are greatly affected by the high tick infestation. In this investigation, tick infestations on camels (Camelus dromedarius) were determined in Qeshm Island, Iran. A total number of 912 adult ticks (472 males ...
