Investigation of mixed function oxidase activity in Antarctic organims

Potential hazards to Antarctic fish and birds in relation to exposure to pollutants were investigated by: 1. determination of mixed function oxidase (MFO) activity in the south polar skua (Catharacta maccormicki) and Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae); 2. evaluation of MFO activity in the fish Pago...

Description
Summary:Potential hazards to Antarctic fish and birds in relation to exposure to pollutants were investigated by: 1. determination of mixed function oxidase (MFO) activity in the south polar skua (Catharacta maccormicki) and Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae); 2. evaluation of MFO activity in the fish Pagothenia bernacchii and Chionodraco hamatus; 3. study of MFO induction in fish experimentally treated with xenobiotics.
