Normal values of plasma cholinesterase activity in anseriformes, with emphasis on Alopochen aegyptiacus. Rev Inst Adolfo Lutz [Internet]. 2021 Dec. 30 [cited 2024 Jul. 22];80:1-9,e37277.

Abstract
The inhibition of the plasma cholinesterase enzyme (BChE) can be used as a biomarker for the effects of intoxication by organophosphates and carbamates. In birds, this inhibition is more pronounced than in mammals, however there are few specific studies were conducted in this field. The aim of this study was to measure BChE in Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptiacus) and domestic anseriforms: domestic geese (Anser anser domesticus) and mallards (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus), not exposed to pesticides, for the establishment of normal values. The work is unprecedented regarding the determination of this enzyme in egyptian geese and domestic geese. Geese and mallards are kept in confinement with ad liditum food and water supply and in adequate space for their maintenance at the Adolfo Lutz Institute (IAL), for the purpose of supplying blood for the feeding of triatomines from the insectary of the Nucleus of Systemic Parasitoses. In Alopochen aegyptiacus the mean and standard deviation of BChE were 1,868 + 263,6 U / L, in Anser anser domesticus 2,311 + 673,2 U / L and in Anas platyrhynchos domesticus 4,290 + 86.11 U / L.
