A Method for Fast Assessment of OP/CB Exposure in the Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Using Combined Esterases Enzyme Activity as Biomarkers
Figure 10
The effect of CB and OP pesticides on esterase enzyme activities in quail. The esterase activities were measured in blood plasma sample. Results are expressed as a % of the control (a) methomyl (0.25–4 mM); (b) parathion (0.125–2 mM); (c) malathion (0.125–2 mM); and (d) trichlorfon (0.125–2 mM). All values in the figure are the mean of three individual quails and each is assayed in duplicate.
