Abstract/Summary:
Cytochrome P450-1A (CYP1A) activity is often used as a biomarker of exposure of wildlife to polyhalogenated diaromatic hydrocarbons (PHDHs), and is usually measured ex vivo in liver tissue. A caffeine breath test with radiolabelled substrate (;Thirty Common Tern (Sterna hirundu) hatchlings were fed fish containing PCB 126 and 2,2;Catalytic and immunochemical properties of avian hepatic microsomal CYP1A enzymes were characterized following treatment with ;...
