摘要: Abstract In this study, we report changes in 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) and δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) enzyme activities during development of three wild passerine bird species: pied flycather (Ficedula hypoleuca), great tit (Parus major) blue (P. caeruleus). Activities were determined from late embryos, newly hatched, 1-week-old 15-day-old nestlings adult birds. EROD activity hepatic microsomes ALA-D liver tissue erythrocytes measured. all species investigated increased the first posthatching week decreased thereafter. Also, differences between late-term adults seen. Based on these results, suggest that developmental status an animal must always be taken into account when evaluating results obtained biomarker studies.
