| effects of heavy metals on biomarkers for oxidative stress in griffon vulture (gyps fulvus). | metals are involved in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ros) which may result in metal-related oxidative stress that can lead to oxidative damage to lipids, dna and proteins. it is necessary to understand the mechanisms of metal toxicity in wild birds, and the concentrations that cause effects on oxidative stress biomarkers. the aim of this study is to assess the concentrations of lead (pb), cadmium (cd), mercury (hg), copper (cu) and zinc (zn) with regards to oxidative stress in blood ... | 2014 | 24529004 |
