ABSTRACT
The effect of orally administered atrazine (25 or 100 mg/kg on days 0, 5, and 10 of the experiment) was studied in European quail (Coturnix coturnix coturnix) on four non-destructive biomarkers fecal porphyrins, blood glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione reductase, reduced glutathione, and malondialdehyde (MDA). Uroporphyrin I (UPI) and coproporphyrins I and III (CPIII) were the main porphyrins detected in feces. The lowest dose of ATZ caused a significant (P < 0.05) increase in UPI and CPIII at day 5, and the highest dose of ATZ caused an induction of CPI and a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in MDA levels at day 30.
