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

Figure 9

Bland and Altman plot of the ratio of CbE and ChE enzyme (plotted on the -axis) versus the average of the two enzymes ( -axis) for AcTChI, BuTChI, PrTChI, and PSA substrates in the individual samples of blood plasma and liver homogenate for quail using (a) uninhibited enzymes and (b) inhibited enzymes with CB and OP pesticide compounds. Horizontal lines are drawn at the mean difference and at the mean difference ±1.96 SD of the differences (dashed line). If the differences within mean ±1.96 SD are clinically not important, the two enzymes cannot be used interchangeably.
