Popis | This study aimed to assess the testicular toxicity of a complex cyanobacterial biomass administered to Japanese quails in the feed for eight weeks (daily dose of 61.62 mu g microcystins including 26.54 mu g MC-RR, 7.62 mu g MC-YR and 27.39 mu g MC-LR). The cell defensive system protecting testicular tissue from the damage associated with toxic effects of the complex cyanobacterial biomass seemed to be insufficient and partly depleted after the chronic exposure of male birds to this biomass. |
