| [a specific and quantitative determination of rat beta-endorphin. combination of hplc and ria]. | a specific and quantitative method for the determination of rat beta-endorphin by the combination of hplc and ria was developed. rabbit antiserum against camel beta-endorphin (c beta-e) was raised and used for ria at the final concentration of 1:10000. the quantitative range estimated from the displacement curve was 0.1-2.0 ng. cross-reactivities with met-enk, leu-enk, alpha-msh, alpha-endorphin, acth and human beta-e were less than 0.1, less than 0.1, less than 0.1, less than 0.1, 2 and 100%, r ... | 1984 | 6096234 |
| dermorphin interaction with peripheral opioid receptors. | the interaction of dermorphin with different peripheral opioid receptor subtypes was investigated in vitro, using the guinea pig ileum as representative tissue for mu, the mouse vas deferens for delta, the rabbit vas deferens for kappa and the rat vas deferens for epsilon. the effect of dermorphin on each tissue preparation was compared with that of selective mu, delta, kappa epsilon agonists respectively morphine, met-enkephalinamide, ethylketocyclazocine and camel beta-endorphin. antagonism wi ... | 1984 | 6099487 |
| desaturation of exhaled air in camels. | we have found that camels can reduce the water loss due to evaporation from the respiratory tract in two ways: (1) by decreasing the temperature of the exhaled air and (2) by removal of water vapour from this air, resulting in the exhalation of air at less than 100% relative humidity (r.h.). camels were kept under desert conditions and deprived of drinking water. in the daytime the exhaled air was at or near body core temperature, while in the cooler night exhaled air wat at or near ambient air ... | 1981 | 6111802 |
| the level and distribution of disaccharidases in the camel (camelus dromedarius) intestine. | 1. the disaccharidases, cellobiase, isomaltase, lactase, maltase, sucrase and trehalase were investigated for presence in the camel (camelus dromedarius) intestine and pancreas. all, except sucrase, were present. 2. their levels of activities were measured at different positions of the small and large intestines and the location of maximum level of activity for each enzymes along the intestinal tract was established. 3. high levels of activities were determined in the contents of the intestinal ... | 1982 | 6121646 |

| studies on the structural prerequisites for the activation of the beta-endorphin receptor on the rat vas deferens. | the inhibitory activity of a variety of opioid peptides was tested on the electrically stimulated rat vas deferens. human beta-endorphin (beta h-ep) was the most potent of the opoioid-like peptides; it produced half-maximal inhibition of the neuromuscular twitching at a concentration of about 100 nm. the potency of beta h-ep was greater than that of camel, porcine, ovine or leucine5 beta h-ep, alpha-n-acetyl beta-ovine-ep was inactive. in contrast to beta-endorphin (beta-ep), methionine and leuc ... | 1982 | 6123591 |
| isolation and characterization of camel pepsins. | camel (camelus dromedarius) pepsins were precipitated from the extract of the fundic gastric mucosa by ammonium sulfate between 35 and 80% saturation. deae--cellulose chromatography of this fraction produced two isoenzymes, i and ii, which were further purified to homogeneity on sephadex g-100. their km with n-acetyl-l-phenylalanyl-diiodotyrosine were 0.10 and 0.90 mm, and their molecular weights which were determined on sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis exhibited 35,500 and 34,700, resp ... | 1984 | 6141027 |
| a simple classification of different types of trypanosomiasis occurring in four camel herds in selected areas of kenya. | camels from herds in four different areas of kenya were sampled at regular intervals over periods of 9-15 months and examined for the presence of trypanosomiasis. five hundred and eight camels divided into three age categories were studied. trypanosomiasis caused by t. evansi, t. brucei and t. congolense was shown to be present in varying degrees in all the herds. camels were divided into 5 types according to mortality, the presence or absence of circulating trypanosomes and antibody, and the pr ... | 1983 | 6141655 |
| camel contagious ecthyma (pustular dermatitis). | in 1979, pustular dermatitis caused by a virus belonging to the family poxviridae , genus parapoxvirus , was observed among camels in some areas of mongolia . the morbidity in adults ranged from 10 to 80%, of 2 to 3-month-old suckling camels between 50-70% and it reached 100% in 1-year-old animals. in the beginning, pustules developed around the mouth followed by papular elevations and scab formation. the virus designated camel contagious ecthyma (cce) grew on the chorionallantoic membrane (cam) ... | 1984 | 6145344 |
| the fine structure of the boundary tissue of the seminiferous tubule of the camel (camelus dromedarius). | an ultrastructural study of the boundary tissue of the seminiferous tubule of the camel reveals that it consists of three lamellae; inner fibrous, inner cellular and outer cellular. the inner lamella is subdivided into two homogeneous layers enclosing a third one that contains collagenous fibres and fine filaments. the inner cellular lamella consists of several layers of myoid cells; each layer is separated from the adjacent layer by homogeneous material and varying amounts of collagen. the oute ... | 1980 | 6157293 |
| a biochemical study of adult and cystic stages of echinococcus granulosus of human and animal origin from kenya. | a comparative biochemical study was performed on adult and cystic stages of echinococcus granulosus. basic quantitative differences in metabolism were apparent between the cystic forms of sheep origin from the uk and kenya which suggest that each may represent a different geographical strain or sub-strain. the biochemistry of the human and sheep forms from kenya was very similar, which probably reflects a certain close affinity between the two. the fact that the cattle, goat and camel forms of e ... | 1981 | 6164714 |
| [tissue-specific retinal proteins in vertebrate evolution]. | studies have been made on water soluble antigens of the retina from man and some animals. in the bovine retina, immunochemical analysis reveals, apart from antigens with a broad and narrow interorganic specificity, organospecific alpha 1- and rho-globulins. immunochemically, the bovine alpha 1-globulin is partially identical with the same protein of the human retina and completely identical to retinal antigens from cattle; rho-globulin is characterized as an interspecific antigen in man and mamm ... | 1981 | 6169234 |
| the prenatal development of hair follicles and hair in the one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius). | the development of the hair follicles started in the prescapular region of crl 15 cm-fetuses as follicular plugs. at crl 31 cm, they became cylindrical cell cords. in the crl 45 cm-fetus two types of growing follicles, primary and secondary ones, could be differentiated, while the tertiary follicles were still follicular plugs. the follicles formed groups, and the primary follicles attained their complete structure at crl 79 cm, while the secondary follicles at crl 83 cm. the tertiary follicles ... | 1983 | 6201017 |
| the development of the sweat and sebaceous glands in the skin of the one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius). | the sweat gland primordium appeared as a solid bud from the ental side of the epithelial cords of the growing hair follicles in the crl 36 cm-fetus from the primary hair follicles and in the crl 64 cm-fetus from the secondary ones. in the crl 68 cm-fetus the glands were tubular with a slight curving of their lower third, which became convoluted at the crl 83 cm-stage. at the latter age, clear myoepithelial cells were observed in the secretory portion as also in the duct. the buds of the sebaceou ... | 1983 | 6201018 |

| testicular steroidogenesis in the camel (camelus dromedarius) during the mating and the nonmating seasons. | enzyme reactions in the camel testis involved in androgen synthesis were studied to determine the factors which account for the low testosterone production during the non-mating season (nms). testes excised during the nms were found to have a relatively high activity of the 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase systems of pregnenolone, 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, and dehydroepiandrosterone, but the 4-ene-17 alpha-hydroxylase and 4-ene-17,20-lyase systems were apparently less active than the 5-en ... | 1983 | 6228485 |
| studies on the poll glands of the one-humped camel in relation to reproductive activity. i. seasonal morphological and histochemical changes. | the poll glands of the camel have been studied histologically and histochemically. an active gland, as observed between september and march, with a peak period in november and december, consists of sharply demarcated lobules separated by thin strands of connective tissue. alveoli and proximal parts of excretory ducts are either lined with flat/simple cuboidal epithelium or with tall cells possessing distal protruding tips almost occluding the lumina; both segments, i.e. alveolus and proximal par ... | 1984 | 6232249 |

| beta-endorphin: dissociation of receptor binding activity from analgesic potency. | biological activities of synthetic camel beta-endorphin and human beta-endorphin (beta h-ep) have been measured by the radioreceptor binding assay, using [tyr27-3h]-beta h-ep as the primary ligand and by the tail-flick test for analgesic potency. four synthetic analogs of beta h-ep, namely [gly31]-beta h-ep-gly-nh2, [gly31]-beta h-ep-gly-gly-nh2, [gln8,gly31]-beta h-ep-gly-gly-nh2, and [ch3(ch2)4nh231]-beta h-ep, have also been assayed by the same procedures. results indicate a clear dissociatio ... | 1980 | 6246537 |
| coordinate, equimolar secretion of smaller peptide products derived from pro-acth/endorphin by mouse pituitary tumor cells. | the secretion of peptide products derived from pro-acth/endorphin was examined with several radioimmunoassays and with polyacrylamide gel analyses of immunoprecipitates of radioactively labeled peptides. in studies using a mouse pituitary tumor cell line the accumulation of each of the four molecular forms of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) in tissue culture medium was shown to be a linear function of time. no evidence for self inhibition of secretion by accumulated, secreted peptides (i.e., ... | 1981 | 6262331 |
| comparison of rat anterior and intermediate pituitary in tissue culture: corticotropin (acth) and beta-endorphin. | the forms of immunoreactive beta-endorphin-sized material in extracts of anterior and intermediate-posterior pituitary from the rat examined by the ion exchange chromatography method of zakarian & smyth. the anterior pituitary primarily contained material that co-migrated with synthetic camel beta-endorphin(1-31), whereas the intermediate-posterior pituitary contained relatively little such material. the majority of immunoactive beta-endorphin-sized peptides in the intermediate pituitary eluted ... | 1981 | 6268382 |
| opiate binding properties of naturally occurring n- and c-terminus modified beta-endorphins. | beta-endorphin is further processed within the pituitary and brain by either n-terminal acetylation, carboxy-terminal proteolysis, or both. these naturally occurring analogues are stored intracellularly and, in some tissues, represent the majority of beta-endorphin immunoreactivity detected by antisera. it is therefore critical to determine their relative potencies at the opiate receptor. this study demonstrates that cleavage of the c-terminus tetrapeptide brings about a 10-fold decrease in opia ... | 1981 | 6272244 |
| human beta-endorphin: specific binding in neuroblastoma n18tg2 cells. | the mouse neuroblastoma n18tg2 has specific, saturable binding sites for human beta-endorphin (beta h-ep). the affinity and number of sites are 1.1 nm and 280,000 per cell, respectively, beta h-ep binding is not inhibited by [leu]enkephalin or morphine at concentrations up to 0.1 mm; beta h-ep-(6--31) is a potent inhibitor of binding, and camel beta-ep is much less potent. the data suggest the importance of the nonenkephalin segment of the beta h-ep molecule for interaction with the binding site ... | 1981 | 6273887 |
| beta-endorphin: demonstration of a tertiary structure in aqueous solution. | difference spectra generated during thermolysin digestion of camel beta-endorphin at ph 8.2 or at ph 6.5 indicate rapid blue shifting of the near-uv absorption bands of the nh2-terminal tyrosine. a similar spectral change is not observed for the nh2-terminal tyrosine in [met]enkephalin when it is digested under similar conditions. these results suggest that enzymatic digestion destroys or alters some structural interaction between the nh2-terminal tyrosyl residue of the endorphin and a residue(s ... | 1981 | 6278466 |
| beta-endorphin: isolation, amino acid sequence and synthesis of the hormone from horse pituitary glands. | beta-endorphin has been isolated from equine pituitaries. its amino acid sequence is identical to that of ovine, bovine and camel beta-endorphins except for substitution of the threonine residue at position 6 by serine. the equine beta-endorphin has also been synthesized by the solid-phase method. in comparison with the human hormone, equine beta-endorphin was shown to possess 3 times the receptor-binding activity in rat membrane preparations and 1.6 times the analgesic potency in the mouse tail ... | 1981 | 6281204 |
| beta-endorphin. interaction of synthetic analogs having different chain lengths with morphine and enkephalin receptors in rat brain membranes. | human beta-endorphin analogs with various chain lengths have been investigated for their potency in displacing tritiated dihydromorphine and leu-enkephalin binding in rat brain membrane preparations. it was found that the reduction of chain length from residues 1-31 to 1-5 led to a gradual loss of preference for the morphined receptor. in addition, the extension of the chain length of the met-ekephalin segment to the cooh-terminal glutamic acid modified the binding of the nh2-terminal sequence t ... | 1982 | 6288588 |
| beta-endorphin: analgesic and receptor binding activity of non-mammalian homologs. | analgesic potencies of turkey, ostrich and des-acetyl salmon beta-endorphins have been measured in the tail-flick test and binding affinities determined by radio-receptor assay. the duration of analgesia and the slope of the dose-response curves generated by these peptides are similar to those elicited by mammalian beta-endorphins. this suggests that they act in vivo and in vitro on the same population of opiate receptors. the ratio of binding to analgesic potencies observed for these peptides v ... | 1982 | 6288596 |
| camelpox and its risk to the human population. | camelpox is mainly of economic importance due to its relatively high mortality, loss of condition and fall in milk production and weight of affected camels. clinically, two distinct types can be distinguished: the severe, generalized form, which appeared more frequently among young animals and the milder, localized form encountered more often in older camels. a higher incidence of illness and a twice higher case fatality rate were observed among male camels. deaths occurred in 30% of the observe ... | 1983 | 6304186 |
| electroacupuncture analgesia blocked by microinjection of anti-beta-endorphin antiserum into periaqueductal gray of the rabbit. | the possible role of beta-endorphin (beta-ep) in mediating the analgesic effect elicited by electroacupuncture (ea) was assessed by injecting antiserum against beta-ep into the periaqueductal gray (pag) of the rabbit. two antisera (ho and ua) were raised in rabbits against human beta-ep, each of which recognized human, porcine, bovine, ovine, camel and rat beta-ep, the only difference being that ho recognized rabbit beta-ep while ua did not. the effect of ea analgesia was found to be seriously a ... | 1983 | 6305863 |
| investigation by photochemically-induced dynamic nuclear polarization and nuclear overhauser enhancement 1h-nmr of the interaction between beta-endorphin and phospholipid micelles. | the photochemically-induced dynamic nuclear polarization technique has been used to investigate the access of a photoexcited flavin dye to tyrosyl and histidyl residues in [met]enkephalin and human and camel beta-endorphins, both alone and in the presence of n-dodecylphosphorylcholine micelles. the results indicate that the mode of binding of tyr-1, but not of residue 27, is similar in the two endorphins and differs from that of tyr-1 in [met]enkephalin. in human beta-endorphin, accessibility an ... | 1983 | 6307694 |
| isoelectrofocusing on flat bed for determining and separating beta-endorphin. | camel synthetic beta-endorphin focused in three bands by isoelectrofocusing on 1 mm polyacrylamide thin gel. all the bands have opioid activity, measured on guinea pig ileum, and radioimmunologically react with beta-endorphin antiserum. since beta-endorphin from rat pituitary gland, particularly from the neurointermediate lobe, also focused in several bands, we hypothesized that the camel peptide occurs in different conformations. a quick, simple technique based on histoelectrofocusing is propos ... | 1983 | 6319851 |
| beta-endorphin: characterization of binding sites specific for the human hormone in human glioblastoma sf126 cells. | the established human glioblastoma cell line sf126 was found to bind tritiated human beta-endorphin (beta h-ep) in a saturable fashion. from displacement studies, the ed50 was estimated to be about 2.5 nm. the kd was estimated as 1.9 x 10(-9) m and scatchard analysis showed a biphasic pattern with a predominant low-affinity component. binding reached a maximum at about 90 min at 22 degrees c and was instantaneously reversible. tritiated [d-ala2,d-leu5]enkephalin and tritiated dihydromorphine did ... | 1984 | 6326153 |
| evidence for the neurotrophic regulation of collagen-tailed acetylcholinesterase in immature skeletal muscle by beta-endorphin. | acetylcholinesterase (ache) was extracted in a high-saline medium from gastrocnemius muscles of rat embryos and young rats aged 14 days' gestation to 40 days post partum. the molecular forms of the enzyme were separated by low-salt precipitation, followed by velocity sedimentation. during gestation, all molecular forms increased in activity, particularly the 16 s (a12) form. during the first 2 weeks of life, there was a large increase in the activity of soluble ache (g forms), whilst the activit ... | 1984 | 6327907 |
| beta-endorphin: demonstration of binding sites in three human neuroblastoma cell lines specific for the cooh-terminal segment of the human hormone. | this communication reports for the first time specific binding sites in human neuroblastoma cells for human beta-endorphin (beta h-ep). three cell lines (imr-32, nmb and kelly) were investigated and found to bind tritiated beta h-ep with an apparent dissociation constant of 2.2-4.2 nm. further characterization with camel beta-ep and synthetic analogs indicated that the binding is most likely mediated by the cooh-terminal segments. beta h-ep-(6-31) had significant potency (15-75%) and beta h-ep-( ... | 1984 | 6329187 |
| effects of opioid peptides and opiate alkaloids on insulin secretion in the rabbit. | in pentobarbital-anesthetized rabbits, iv injection of 9 nmol (31 micrograms) human beta-endorphin (beta h-endorphin)/kg bw caused a significant (p less than 0.05) increase in serum glucose and a significant decline in serum insulin during the subsequent 60 min. when 9 nmol/kg bw beta h-endorphin were injected simultaneously with 0.7 g glucose/kg bw, the clearance of serum glucose and the expected glucose-stimulated rise in serum insulin were both inhibited. the threshold dose for the insulinope ... | 1983 | 6339212 |

| studies on the sero-epidemiology of endemic diseases in libya. i. echinococcosis in libya. | in libya traditional animal husbandry and the practice of domestic slaughter of food animals contribute to the maintenance of the echinococcus cycle. the cost of echinococcosis is high and may significantly affect the national economy. this study, employing the elisa test, has indicated an approximately 10% infection rate in children and young adults from the environs of benghazi, no difference being apparent between rural and urban dwellers. the prevalence of the infection should be determined ... | 1983 | 6639185 |
| the pathogenesis of experimental haemonchus longistipes infection in goats. | goats are highly susceptible to haemonchus longistipes and could therefore serve as an inexpensive model to study camel haemonchosis. the course of the disease in goats is similar to that in camels and to h. contortus infection in sheep and goats. unlike the age-dependency of camel haemonchosis, however, the severity of h. longistipes infection in goats is dose-dependent and varies from mild to hyperacute. | 1983 | 6643762 |
| the foetal thyroid of the dromedary: its relation to body weight and dimensions and to the weight of the dam's thyroid. | growth and iodine content of the thyroid glands in relation to body weight, length [total (bcvrt), crown-rump (cr), and curved crown-rump (cvr)], chest circumference (cc), and age were investigated in 83 camel foetuses from 70 to 355 days of gestation (mean gestation length 390 days). weight and iodine content of the dam's thyroid were also studied. highly significant (p less than 0.01) correlations of 0.883, 0.797, 0.798, 0.792, and 0.813 were obtained between foetal thyroid weights on the one ... | 1983 | 6649409 |
| the prenatal development of the skin in the one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius). | the epidermis of the camel started its development as a single layer of cuboical cells. the second layer occurred at the fetal stage of c rl 5 cm and the intermediate cell layer at the c rl 10 cm-stage. in the c rl 83 cm - fetus the epidermis is differentiated into the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum and stratum corneum. in the dermis the collagenic and reticular fibres were observed in the 2 cm - fetus, and the elastic ones at the c rl 20 cm - stage. | 1983 | 6649775 |

| phenotypic variations in blood and milk of the somali camel. | 132 blood samples and 54 milk samples obtained from somali camel were analysed for red blood cell antigens with the cattle reagents and for hb, ca, x proteins, tf, alb, am, sod, alpha-la, beta-lg and casein systems respectively. positive lytic reactions were obtained with the anti-b, -q, -q', -w, -f1 and -j reagents. no biochemical polymorphism was observed except for hb, x protein and beta-lg systems. | 1983 | 6660598 |
| studies on the histogenesis of the tunica mucosa of the small and large intestines of the camel (camelus dromedarius). ii. histogenesis of the colonic mucosa. | the colon is at first a simple tube, and its mucosa has a smooth luminal surface, surrounding a previous lumen. at the 150 mm stage the mucosa is thrown into a number of stout projections, each has a vascularized mesenchymal core and an epithelial cloth. these projections are in turn split into finger-like villi by transverse furrows. the villi reach their maximal length at the 260 mm stage and then gradually degenerate and slough into the lumen. the villi were completely disappeared at the 730 ... | 1983 | 6670344 |
| studies on the histogenesis of the tunica mucosa of the small and large intestines of the camel (camelus dromedarius). i. histogenesis of the small intestinal mucosa. | the histogenesis of the small intestinal mucosa passes through a previllous stage, comprising development until the formation of villi (at a c rl of about 15 cm), and a villous stage, comprising the further development. in the previllous stage, the mucosa consists of a lamina epithelialis made up of undifferentiated cells with stratified nuclei and a lamina propria/submucosa made up of homogeneous mesenchyme. the villi appear as luminal epithelial outgrowths associated with vascularized mesenchy ... | 1983 | 6670352 |
| the camel (camelus dromedarius) as an intermediate host for hammondia heydorni. | dogs fed raw camel meat containing two types of cysts shed unsporulated hammondia heydorni oocysts and later sporulated sarcocystis sporocysts in their feces, but were resistant to reinfection with the hammondia cysts. sporulated h. heydorni occysts did not induce an enteroepithelial cycle in dogs, but resulted in the formation of muscle cysts. | 1983 | 6672172 |

| tritiated water metabolism during dehydration and rehydration in the camel. | the metabolism of tritiated water in the camel was compared in two 10-day periods, one when water was readily available and the second during dehydration. there was a radically depressed metabolism after 2 days of dehydration. two other experiments examined the absorption rate of drinking water. in one experiment drinking water was labeled with tritium, and in the second experiment dilution of tritium-labeled blood was examined. in both experiments there was a rapid uptake and dilution of the bl ... | 1984 | 6693323 |
| peripheral blood levels of progesterone in female camels during various reproductive stages. | determination of serum progesterone concentrations over a period of 2 years in female camels during various reproductive stages (estrus, pregnant, nonpregnant, and lactating) suggests that the progesterone levels exceeding 1 ng/ml are reached only if mating is fertile. a cycling camel does not have a luteal phase and mating is probably indispensable for ovulation to occur. | 1984 | 6698390 |
| the prevalence and pathogenesis of naturally-occurring haemonchus longistipes infection in sudanese camels. | camel haemonchosis is prevalent in the sudan, especially during the rainy season, with a decrease in prevalence in the dry season possibly due to delayed maturation of the worms. the naturally occurring disease in sudanese camels is characterized by emaciation, anaemia, oedema of the lower parts of the limbs, eosinophilia, hypoproteinaemia, hypoalbuminaemia, hyperglobulinaemia and eosinophilia, as well as elevated blood urea concentrations. | 1984 | 6736305 |
| leydig cell differentiation during the reproductive cycle of the seasonal breeder camelus dromedarius: an ultrastructural analysis. | spermatogenesis and leydig cell development in the dromedary were analyzed at the ultrastructural level and correlated with fluctuations of testosterone synthesis during the mating and nonmating seasons. it was found that (1) spermatogenesis and diameter of the seminiferous tubules are dissociated from seasonal fluctuations of testosterone synthesis as they remain similar throughout the year; (2) the volume of the interstitial tissue and the rate of testosterone synthesis are correlated since bo ... | 1984 | 6745626 |
| carcinogenic activity of condensate from coloquint seeds (citrullus colocynthis) after chronic epicutaneous administration to mice. | in the sahelian countries coloquint seed tar is used in traditional medicine. a condensate from the seed of citrullus colocynthis was obtained in a camel nomad settlement. it contained a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including known carcinogens [e.g., benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene]. the dose-related carcinogenic activity of this condensate was established after chronic epicutaneous application to mouse skin. we conclude that the ... | 1984 | 6746706 |
