Nasal, buccal and rectal swabs were collected from 24 adults and 25 newborn clinically healthy reem(Gazella subgutturosa marica) and idmi (Gazella gazella) gazelles from the breeding pens of the KingKhalid Wildlife Research Center (KKWRC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Swabs were cultured onbacteriological media and organisms isolated were identified using the appropriate analytical profileindex (API) identification system. 253 bacterial and 5 fungal isolates were reported from idmi and reemunder investigation. Of the bacteria isolated, 136 (53.8%) were isolated from idmi gazelles whereas 117

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic agents that lead to significant oxidative damage. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a contaminantwith increasing exposure to it and exerts both toxic and estrogenic effects on mammalian cells. Due to limited informationconcerning the effect of BPA on liver, this study investigates whether BPA causes hepatotoxicity by induction of oxidative stress in liver. Rats were divided into five groups: The first four groups, BPA (0.1, 1, 10, 50 mg/kg/day) were administrated orally to rats forfour weeks. The fifth group was taken water with vehicle.

Several studies have shown an association between codon 16 polymorphism of the β2AR gene and obesity. Methods.

The species ‘Vulnerable’, due to an inferred future population decline caused by habitat loss and sustained exploitation. Thestatus of the Arabian subspecies (L. p. maxwelli) occurring in the Tigris marshes of Iraq and Iran is uncertain
