Characterization of function and genetic feature of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase in avian species
(Elsevier, 2019)Birds are exposed to many xenobiotics during their lifetime. For accurate prediction of xenobiotic-induced toxic effects on avian species, it is necessary to understand metabolic capacities in a comprehensive range of bird ... -
DDTs and other organochlorine pesticides in tissues of four bird species from the Rift Valley region, Ethiopia
