Ingestion of tannery effluent as a risk factor to the health of birds: A toxicological study using Coturnix coturnix japonica as a model system.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
Tannery industries generate large amounts of tannery effluents (TE), which have been considered highly toxic to various groups of animals. However, the identification and characterization of the impact of this mix of pollutants on birds is still highly ...

Di (2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-induced spleen toxicity in quail (Coturnix japonica) via disturbing Nrf2-mediated defense response.

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), as a widely used plasticizer, is reported to have widespread environmental and global health hazards. Trace amounts of phthalates in the environment are sufficient to disrupt ecological balance and affect human health ...

Morphological Characteristics of the Developing Cecum of Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2019
The current investigation was carried out to record the final stages of the development of both middle and distal parts of quail ceca, Coturnix coturnix japonica to understand the role of ceca in digestion, immune system, and absorption. The cellular and

ANF binding sites in the heart of the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Peptides, 1993
The distribution pattern of rat [125I]-atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) binding sites in the cardiac regions of the Japanese quail was examined by in vitro quantitative autoradiography. Elevated ANF binding densities (519 +/- 121 fmol/mg protein) were found in the posterior vena cava, while lower binding levels (between 40 and 50 fmol/mg protein) were ...

Hemiagenesis of the thyroid gland in the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1986
Hemiagenesis of the thyroid occurred in a closed population of Japanese quails. The unilateral gland was histologically normal, occurred most frequently in females, was heavier than individual pairs of glands and the birds showed no clinical effects. Comparative aspects are discussed.

The toxicity of dieldrin (HEOD) to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 1969
Abstract Dieldrin, purity >99% HEOD, has been given to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) at dietary concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm. Mortality and dietary intake appeared to have been only marginally affected at 10 ppm, while the higher intakes gave progressively greater effects.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-induced hepatotoxicity in quail (Coturnix japonica) via suppression of the heat shock response.

Chemosphere, 2019
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widespread environmental toxicant that severely impacts agricultural production and animal and human health. Nevertheless, DEHP-induced hepatotoxicity at the molecular level in quail remains unexplored.

Mate-choice copying in Japanese quail,Coturnix coturnix japonica

Animal Behaviour, 1998
We performed four experiments to examine effects on the mate choices of female Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica, of observing a male mate with another female. Each experiment was conducted in three phases: (1) a pre-test during which subject females were allowed to choose between two males with which to affiliate; (2) an observation phase, in

Effects of methyltestosterone on reproduction in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Environmental Research, 2005
Although the hormone-mediated effects of the synthetic androgenic hormone methyltestosterone (MT) are well characterized in mammals, little is known about endocrine and other toxic effects on reproduction in birds. In a one-generation study, MT was administered to adult Japanese quail (12 pairs per group) at dietary dose levels of 0, 10, 50, and 110 ...

Response to Nutritional Deprivation in the Japanese Quail ( Coturnix Coturnix Japonica )

British Veterinary Journal, 1971
SUMMARY The accumulation of total tissue DNA as an index of cell number, and the weight/DNA ratio as an index of cell size were used to establish the effects of severe stunting imposed by malnutrition on cellular development and the permanence or reversibility of such stunting in Japanese quail.
