| Popis: | The concentration of Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu, δ-aminulevulinic acid dehydratase activity (ALA-D; EC. 4.2.1.24) hemoglobin and protein amount have been determined in three different populations of fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) caught at two urban sites (Mitrovica town, which is situated close to smelter of Trepca down closed and Prishtina the capital of Kosova) and in Luki village as uncontaminated area. The results show that in the fruit fly of Mitrovica the concentration of Pb, Cd and Zn was significantly higher (P |
