| proteins of the camel erythrocyte membrane. | electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels containing dodecyl sulphate has revealed that the major proteins of the camel erythrocyte membrane are similar to those of the human and bovine species in both electrophoretic mobility and relative abundance. the major difference lies in the major intrinsic membrane protein of molecular weight approx. 100 000. in the camel, this protein has a higher apparent molecular weight than in the human and bovine species. the very high molecular weight water-soluble ... | 1975 | 1096959 |
| male meiosis in camel-flies (raphidioptera; neuropteroidea). | male meiosis in 3 species of the raphidioptera genus agulla-- a. bicolor banks, a. astuta (banks), and a. bractea carpenter-- closely parallels that of neuroptera. the diploid complement in each comprises 12 pairs of autosomes plus x and y; all are mediokinetic. one male of a. bicolor carried an extra pair of autosomes indistinguishable from the shortest member of the usual set: these formed a normal bivalent and segregated synchronously with the other autosomes. the spindle is formed by the col ... | 1975 | 1140044 |
| unique properties of the camel erythrocyte membrane, ii. organization of membrane proteins. | camel erythrocyte membranes are distinguished by some unique properties of stability and composition. notable is their abundance in proteins (protein:lipid ratio of 3:1). membrane proteins of camel erythrocytes were compared with those of human eruthrocytes, which have been intensively investigated. proteins were extracted with various aqueous media (edta, alkaline or high ionic strength) and with ionic and non-ionic detergents and were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. in membranes of camel eryt ... | 1976 | 816376 |
| the erythrocyte membrane site for the effect of temperature on osmotic fragility. | the osmotic fragility of human erythrocytes is well known to decrease as the temperature is elevated. the cellular site for the temperature effect was studied by assessing possible roles of hemoglobin and of membrane lipids and by taking advantage of the unique response of camel erythrocytes to temperature. it is concluded that the erythrocyte membrane is the site for the temperature effect on osmotic fragility. the human erythrocyte is likely to rupture in protein--lipid boundary regions in the ... | 1977 | 836832 |
| effects of dehydration on body-water distribution in desert kangaroos. | the effect of dehydration on the distribution of water in the bodies of two species of desert kangaroos, the red kangaroo megaleia rufa and the euro macropus robustus, has been examined. the volumes of various body-fluid compartments were determined in normally hydrated animals and then after the kangaroos had been dehydrated until body weight declined to 80% of the initial weight. the fluid compartments examined were total body water, plasma volume, intracellular volume (cellular and gut water) ... | 1975 | 1147052 |
| allelic polymorphism in arabian camel ribonuclease and the amino acid sequence of bactrian camel ribonuclease. | pancreatic ribonucleases from several species (whitetail deer, roe deer, guinea pig, and arabian camel) exhibit more than one amino acid at particular positions in their amino acid sequences. since these enzymes were isolated from pooled pancreas, the origin of this heterogeneity is not clear. the pancreatic ribonucleases from 11 individual arabian camels (camelus dromedarius) have been investigated with respect to the lysine-glutamine heterogeneity at position 103 (welling et al., 1975). six ri ... | 1976 | 962846 |

| relationship and possible function of the nasal sacs and glands of the one-humped camel, camelus dromedarius. | the relationship between the lateral nasal gland and sacs of the maxillary recesses was investigated. the nasal sacs possess a well-defined aperture communicating with the nasal cavities. it was concluded that the sacs and not the body of the gland produce mucous secretions that moisten the inhaled dry air of the desert and may also act as reservoirs. a possible function of the body of the nasal gland is water economy by excretion of concentrated salts. | 1975 | 1155005 |

| sodium and potassium metabolism in the dehydrated and rehydrated bedouin camel. | the effects of 10 days dehydration and rapid rehydration on the sodium and potassium metabolism in the one-humped camel were examined. the research was carried out during two periods in the summer, a cool and a hot period. in the hot period the effects of dehydration were found to be more severe. the potassium metabolism was more affected than that of the sodium. the concentrations of potassium in the urine declined while those of sodium increased. there were also marked changes in the filtered ... | 1976 | 985385 |
| severe heart muscle degeneration caused by clostridium perfringens type a in camel calves (camelus dromedarius). | clostridium perfringens type a was isolated from different organs and intestines from three to five weeks old camel calves which have died from heart muscle necrosis. no other bacterial pathogens were isolated. virus isolation on two different cell lines including a fetal camel skin were also negative. mice which were injected with bacteria free filtrates prepared from intestinal contents of necropsied camel calves died after one to six hours demonstrating the presence of clostridial toxins. our ... | 1992 | 1339990 |
| the amino acid sequence of dromedary pancreatic ribonuclease. | dromedary (camelus dromedarius) rnaase (ribonuclease) was isolated from pancreatic tissue by affinity chromatography. peptides obtained by digestion with different proteolytic enzymes and cnbr were isolated by gel filtration, preparative high-voltage paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography. peptides were sequenced by the dansyl-edman method. all peptide bonds were overlapped by one or more peptides. the polypeptide chain consists of 123 amino acids. a deletion (position 39) was observed i ... | 1975 | 1167157 |
| morphological, micromorphological and histochemical studies on the parotid salivary glands of the one-humped camel (camelus dromedarius). | the morphology, blood and nerve supply of the parotid salivary glands of the one-humped camel were studied in detail. the intraglandular portion of the duct system was also examined. the histological and histochemical studies showed that the parotid salivary glands of the camel are of the tubuloacinar type and are serumocoid in nature. the secretory acini and tubules show themselves in 3 different forms according to the different phases of their secretory cycle. the duct system of the gland cont ... | 1975 | 1213248 |
| [giant cells in the placenta of the bactrian camel in the fetal period of development]. | polyploid giant cells resulting from differentiation of normal cytotrophoblast cells were found in the composition of the placenta cytotrophoblast of the bactrian camel. in the placenta of the bactrian camel the transformation of cytotrophoblast cells into multinuclear giant cells is realized via endomitotic polyploidization and distinctly reflects active synthetic processes occurring in these cells related with the trophic function of the placenta. it may be supposed that giant cells of the pla ... | 1975 | 1191072 |

| carotid body of camelus dromedarius. | the carotid body of the camel is located between a mass of loose connective tissue at the point of separation of the internal carotid artery from the carotid trunk. a capsule-like connective tissue sheath sends strands in between the parenchyme of this organ and separates lobes and lobules, making it disseminated in type, as in man and in the horse. two distinct types of cells were found in the parenchyma. type i cells with specific electton-dense, cored vesicles, and type ii cells with protopla ... | 1975 | 1163190 |
