A Method for Fast Assessment of OP/CB Exposure in the Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Using Combined Esterases Enzyme Activity as Biomarkers

Figure 3

Levels of esterases enzyme (CbE or ChE) activity by using thiocholine (AcTChI, BuTChI, or PrTChI) and thioacetate (PSA) substrate (concentration was ranged from 0.125 to 2 mM for AcTChI and BuTChI while ranged from 0.25 to 4 mM for PrTChI and PSA) in blood plasma samples and liver homogenate for quails. All values in the figure are the mean of five individual quails and each is assayed in duplicate.
