The evolution of UDP-glycosyl/glucuronosyltransferase 1E (UGT1E) genes in bird lineages is linked to feeding habits but UGT2 genes is not
(PLoS, 2018)
UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) catalyzes the transfer of glycosyl groups (e.g., glucuronic
acid) to exogenous or endogenous chemicals and plays an important role in conjugation
reactions. In vertebrates, UGT genes are ...
Comparison of two reducing agents dithiothreitol and tris(3-hydroxypropyl)phosphine for in vitro kinetic assay of vitamin K epoxide reductase
(Elsevier, 2020)
Vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) is a target enzyme for anticoagulants, such as warfarin, that are used as medicines or rodenticides. Assessing VKOR activity is required to ensure the proper usage of these drugs. ...
A review: poisoning by anticoagulant rodenticides in non-target animals globally
(Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2019)
Worldwide use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) for rodents control has frequently
led to secondary poisoning of non-target animals, especially raptors. In spite of the occurrence of
many incidents of primary or secondary ...
Trace element contamination in tissues of four bird species from the Rift Valley Region, Ethiopia
(Springer, 2017)
Concentrations of ten trace elements (Hg, As, Cd, Pb, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Se and Zn) were determined in different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle, heart and brain) of African sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus), Hamerkop ...
DDTs and other organochlorine pesticides in tissues of four bird species from the Rift Valley region, Ethiopia
(Elsevier, 2017)
Despite the presence of a wide variety and number of birds, there is exceedingly little data on organochlorine pesticide (OCP) residues in birds inhabiting in Africa. In the present study, concentrations of dichlorodiphe ...
Anthropogenic and naturally produced brominated phenols in pet blood and pet food in Japan
(ACS, 2017)
Present study determined concentrations and residue patterns of bromophenols (BPhs) in whole blood samples of pet cats and pet dogs collected from veterinary hospitals in Japan. BPhs concentrations were higher in cat blood ...
Sex-specific behavioral effects of acute exposure to the neonicotinoid clothianidin in mice
(Elsevier Inc, 2022)
Although neonicotinoids are among the major classes of pesticides that affect mammalian nervous systems, little
is known about sex differences in their effects. This study aimed to examine whether the neurobehavioral ...
