The prolonged exposure of Japanese quail to carbaryl and its effects on neurochemical and blood chemical parameters.
Whole-brain dopamine levels were significantly elevated in male Japanese quail fed 600 and 1200 ppm carbaryl in the diet for 14 weeks. Whole-brain AChE activity, whole-brain and heart norepinephrine levels, adrenal norepinephrine and epinephrine levels and plasma glucose levels were not altered by carbaryl. No effects were noted in the females.
