Abstract
Brain from 47 avian and 17 mammalian species and the liver from 19 avian and 7 mammalian species has been examined for acetyl cholinesterase and nitrophenyl acetate esterase activities. Plasma from 27 avian and 7 mammalian species has been examined for acetyl cholinesterase, cholinesterase, nitrophenyl acetate esterase, glutamate, oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamate dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase activities. The studies have revealed that variations in enzyme activities occur between species but that there are discernible trends within families. The results indicate that comprehensive control enzyme data is necessary in order to assess the effects of exposure to agricultural chemicals in wildlife.Entities:
