| Description | The aim of this study was to estimate the influence of cyanobacterial biomass, lead and immunological challenge in single and combined exposure schemes on biochemical markers of oxidative stress and detoxification in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in sub-chronic study. Significant differences between exposure variants were observed. Responses of biochemical parameters (glutathion, glutathion-S-transferase, reductase, peroxidase; lipid peroxidation) were more pronounced in the co-exposure groups of quails than in the individual exposures. The generation of oxidative stress combined with insufficiency of defensive mechanisms could result in effects on the health status, especially if multiple stressors are involved, which is often the case in the environment. |
