Ten growing Shami female dromedaries, 27 weeks old were used to determine peripheral levels of glucose, IGF-1 and leptin in prepubertal Shami dromedary heifers. Body weight(BW) was measured and blood samples were collected weekly from the jugular vein for 6 months in EDTA-containing tubes. Serum was separated and stored at −20°C for later analysis. Glucose was determined using a colorimetric glucose oxidase kit. Serum concentrations of IGF-1 and leptin were assayed using some modifications of bovine radioimmunoassay procedures. Animals were grouped according to their birth date, body weight or average daily gain and variations in the plasma concentrations of parameters as well as to the effect of studied factors were tested and assessed by analysis of variance using the general linear model, repeated measurements procedures of SAS. It is reported for the first time information on peripheral levels of glucose, IGF-1 and leptin hormones in sexually immature dromedary heifers and results indicated that BW had a significant effect (p<0.05) on IGF-1 levels. Overall means for glucose, Igf-1 and leptin, were 188 ± 4.11 mg\dl, 222 ± 6.43 ng\ml, and13.27 ± 0.16 ng\ml, respectively and it was found that those concentrations were greater than values in sexually immature females in the other domestic animals. Such information might be helpful for specialists to search for the role of these hormones in the reproductive function and develop breeding programs to reduce the period of the onset of puberty and increase the reproductive performance of dromedary camels.

This study was carried out at the Shami Goat Improvement Station at Karahta. Twenty one week old Shami male goats were used to measure the concentrations of testosterone and LH hormones in plasma over a period of 21 months, using the Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA), in order to determine the sexual puberty age. All kids were housed and managed under the husbandry regimes applied at Karahta station.
Twelve growing Shami heifers available in Dier-Al-Hajar Station for improving Shami Cattle weighing 115±3 kg and 178±4 days old were used to determine the weekly hormonal concentrations of progesterone (P4) and estradiol 17-β (E2) during the pre- and puberty stages (6-14 mos). Blood samples were collected weekly from the Jugular vein using vacutainer tubes supported with K3EDTA.
This study was carried out at Camel Research Station, Deer Al-Hajar, Directorate of Animal Wealth Research, General Commission of Agricultural Scientific Research to measure the testicular dimensions, TDs (Length, TL; width, TW; Circumference, TC) ; the relationship between these parameters and to use them as an indicator to determine the puberty age in Shami camel males. Twenty five camel raised in the station were equally divided, according to their age, into five groups: G1, almost one year,G2, G3, G4, and G5 were 2, 3, 4 and 5 years old, respectively.
The study was conducted on 18 Shami goat Kids in the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Hama, their age was 150 days, to ages and weights, reaching an average of 23.2kg, and they were dived into three groups(6 per group) depending on the sour ce of the protein included in the composition. The died for each of them 14%(as a 100% unshelled cotton gain for the first group, 100% soybean gain for the second group, a 50% unpeeled cotton gain and 50% soybean gain for the third group). Blood samples from the jugular vein were collected from all test subjects before starting feeding on the feed. Watch after one, two and three months from the start of feeding. Gifts blood samples were analyzed in all groups and a study of the indicators of glucose, general protein, albumin and globulin in blood serum to assess the energy and protein metabolism of gifts, when feeding on these diets. The results showed a significant increase (ᴘ≤0.05) in the concentration of glucose in gifts after two months of experience in the three groups, but this was the highest increase in the second group versus the control and the first and third groups, then its concentration decreased after that. A significant increase (ᴘ≤0.05) was observed with the concentration of the total protein in the blood serum after a month of the experiment. The total protein concentration decreased after three months in the blood kids in second and third groups compared with the first and control groups. The albumin concentration decreased after two months (ᴘ≤0.05) in the first group compared with second, third and control, also it's decreased after three months in the first and third groups compared with the second and control. The globulin concentration in the blood serum increased after one month in the three groups compared with the control, then in two months decreased( not significant) in the three groups, and after three months decreased (ᴘ≤0.05) the globulin concentration in the second and third groups.The increase in the weights of gift items in the groups was respectively: the first group 9.45kg (95g ∕ day), the second group 13.6kg (136g ∕day) and the third group 10.45kg (106g ∕day). We conclude that the energy and protein metabolic indicators were the best in the second group feeding 100% soybean meal as a protein source, which can reduce the period for fattening gifts and reflect positively on economic side and income generation.
The study aimed to identify the levels of IGF-1 growth factor in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, where the levels of IGF-1 growth factor and its relationship with some important laboratory parameters such as (fasting blood gluc ose, HbA1c, duration of diabetes) were evaluated. LDL-c, HDL-c, TG, atherosclerotic index) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (Typ2DM).
