Elucidating the effect of camel α-lactalbumin in modulating obesity-related metabolic disorders in an obese rat model.

Camel α-Lactalbumin (α-LAC) has been shown to exert bioactivities for Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and anti-inflammation, showing the ability to treat obesity-related metabolic disorders. Herein, we present a novel process to purify α-LAC in a single chromatographic step from camel whey in a flow-through format. We also demonstrate the role of α-LAC modulation strategies for the treatment of obesity.

[Association between HLA-class II genes and asthma susceptibility in a selected Constantine population].

Introduction: asthma is a complex disease caused by the interaction of several genes. Some of them have a protective effect and some others contribute to disease onset. This study focuses on a region of the short arm of chromosome 6, where the genes encoding the major histocompatibility complex called HLA are located.
