Exploring the Role of Salt Supplementation on Milk Composition, Fatty Acids, and Insulin Response in Lactating Camels by Riyadh S. Aljumaah, Ahmed A. K. Salama, Mutassim M. Abdelrahman, Moez Ayadi, Gerardo Caja, Mohammed A. Alshaikh, Mohammed A. Al-Badwi, Abdulkareem M. Matar

“…Notably, SAL camels had elevated blood insulin levels (<i>p</i> < 0.05) compared to the CON group, suggesting enhanced pancreatic activity possibly driven by osmotic balance changes. Milk FA profiles revealed a reduction in unsaturated fatty acids (UFA, <i>p</i> < 0.04), particularly monounsaturated (MUFA, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and odd-chain fatty acids (OCFA, <i>p</i> < 0.05). …”
