Long-term exposure of pancreatic islets to fatty acids (FAs), common in obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, leads a compensatory hyperactivity followed by inflammation, apoptosis, dysfunctional beta cells, results insulin dependence the patient. Restriction uptake islet cells may protect them from lipotoxicity.

The Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is a keystone species in the ecosystems, providing essential services like pollination and seed dispersal. However, its role as reservoir for zoonotic diseases poses significant health risk. present study aimed to investigate current future spatial distribution patterns of evaluate impact environmental factors such bioclimatic variables, ecoregion, land cover on their habitat suitability. Using records collected from published papers, data field...

Abstract Accounting for historical demographic features is vital many types of evolutionary inferences, including the estimation divergence times between closely related populations. In barn swallow, Hirundo rustica , inferring population sizes and subspecies can shed light on recent co‐evolution this species with humans. Pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent uncovered growth beginning order one million years ago—which may reflect radiation broader genus—and a more decline....

Egypt is the habitat for a large number of bird species and serves as vital stopover millions migratory birds during their annual migration between Palearctic Afrotropical ecozones. Surveillance avian influenza viruses (AIVs) critical to assessing risks potential spreading these among domestic poultry. AIV hunted captured wild in was conducted order understand characteristics circulating viruses.Sampling occurred two locations along Mediterranean Coast period from 2014 2016. A total 1316...

Contamination from increased anthropogenic activities poses a threat to human health as well the ecosystem. To develop nanotechnological approach improve aqua fisheries, we synthesized magnetic hematite nanoparticle-based gel and evaluated its efficacy in cadmium-polluted closed system decontaminate water tilapia fish health.

Sex chromosomes often bear distinct patterns of genetic variation due to unique inheritance and demography. The processes mutation, recombination, drift selection also influence rates evolution on sex differently than autosomes. Measuring such differences provides information about how these shape genomic their roles in the origin species. To test hypotheses predictions autosomal sex-linked diversity differentiation, we measured population statistics within between populations subspecies...

Two aquatic macrophytes, Ceratophyllum demersum and Lemna minor, were used in aquaculture wastewater treatment. Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) with total body weight of 50-60 g placed 60 L aquaria. Four treatment groups included: control (no plant treatment, depended on artificial filtering for purification), minor (Lm), (Cd), mixed plants group (Lm+Cd). Each had three replicates (5 fish/replicate). The experiment was conducted 4 weeks. Physicochemical parameters including pH,...

The present study seeks to assess the bird biodiversity at Important Bird Area (IBA) and Ramsar site,Lake Burullus, northern Egypt. Waterbirds was assessed 14 selected sites in lake duringwinter spring seasons. assessment included richness, composition, evenness, abundance, andSimpson Shannon-Wiener diversity indices. species varied spatially temporallyamong different during period. Estimated richness 49 species. Winter birdswere mainly migratory waterbirds like waterfowl, distributed islets...

Bats are a good animal model of monitoring habitat pollution by heavy metal concentration assessment. A total 50 Egyptian fruit bat were sampled from five governorates: Beni Suef, Damietta, Fayoum, Giza and Menofia. Fur samples collected these bats to be tested for the presence metals using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. Seven (manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), Ferrum (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb)) have been estimated. Statistical analysis with One-Way Analysis...

Studying migratory birds wintering stopover areas has a global concern. The contamination of heavy metals is one the serious threats to in wetland ecosystem. In present study, metal exposure risk Burullus Lake was assessed. concentrations Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd, and Co water, plant, fish were determined 10 bird habitats. A metals' assessment model had been done. It showed that small waders, represented by dunlin, are exposed higher doses than waterfowls, mallard. Evaluation this could not be done...
