Algae are widely present in freshwater environments and serve as important primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, where they generate biomass that is transferred to higher trophic levels. Algae respond to environmental ...
Cytochrome P450-mediated warfarin metabolic ability is not a critical determinant of warfarin sensitivity in avian species: in vitro assays in several birds and in vivo assays in chicken

Watanabe, Kensuke P.; Ikenaka, Yoshinori; Kawata, Minami; Nakayama, Shouta M.M.; Ishii, Chihiro (Wiley, 2015)

Coumarin-derivative anticoagulant rodenticides used for rodent control are posing a serious risk to wild bird populations. For warfarin, a classic coumarin derivative, chickens have a high median lethal dose (LD50), whereas ...
