In contrast to many countries where rabies has been well controlled in humans and livestock, even in wildlife, rabies is still endemic in almost regions of China. In Northwest China, rabies transmitted by stray dogs and wild foxes has caused heavy economic losses to local herdsmen, as well as causing numbers of human cases. In this study, as part of an investigation of ways to prevent rabies ep...

The anti-diabetic activity of camel milk in type 1 diabetics is attributed to the significant amounts of insulin / insulin like activity present in it. However, evidence for the anti-diabetic activity of camel milk is scanty and equivocal. This study evaluated the anti-hyperglycemic effect of camel milk using drug (Streptozotocin) and diet (high sucrose) induced rat models for diabetes / insuli...

BACKGROUND It has been shown that camel milk consumption has a definite decreasing effect on the prevalence of diabetes. However, most of these studies were conducted on patients with type 1 diabetes, whereas studies on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are limited. In vitro experiments have shown that camel milk was able to decrease blood glucose concentration. OBJECTIVES The pur...

The number of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes has risen steeply recently exhausting the ability of health care systems to deal with the epidemic. Seventy-five percent of people with diabetes live in low- and middle-income countries. The largest populations of diabetics are in China and India, with many of those people living in extreme pover...

Camels and many other desert animals are uniquely adapted to conserve water and other fluids in order to survive intense heat for long periods. Earlier studies have suggested that human platelets may be the trigger for the coagulopathy involved in heat prostration and stroke. The present study has compared the resistance of camel and human platelets to heat in order to see if they might help to...

The objective of this research was to determine the effects storage time on chemical, physical and microbial characteristics camel meat. In this study longissiums muscles of camel meat were excised and stored at 4±1oC. pH, DL, WHC, shear force values, microbial contamination and sensory Characteristics were determined. The study also indicated that time storage had no significant effect (p>0.05...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to cell surface molecules have been proven as a key tool for phenotypic and functional characterization of the cellular immune response. One of the major difficulties in studying camel cellular immunity consists in the lack of mAbs that dtect their leukocyte differentiation antigens. In the present study two-parameter flow cytometry was used to screen existing comme...

Results: The blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) in short term administration (24 hours) of 1200 mg/kg body weight fermented skim camel milk decreased signifi cantly (p < 0.05) from 22 to 36 mmHg and 28 to 32 mmHg, respectively, at four and eight hour of post administration. On the other hand, the blood pressure of fermented skim camel milk for long-...
