Alkaline and acid phosphatases were histochemically localized in the ileum of three birds with diverse feeding habits. The birds chosen for study included the granivorous Ploceus philippinus, the frugivorous Megalaima haemacephala, and the mainly piscivorous Halcyon smyrnensis. It was found the the activity of these phosphatases tend to be greater in H. smyrnensis and M. haemacephala and comparatively less in P. philippinus, as demoted by variable enzymatic deposition. Simultaneously, their functional significance has been discussed, correlating enzymatic activities with the specific feeding habits of the birds.
用组织化学方法对三只食性各异的鸟类的回肠进行了碱性磷酸酶和酸性磷酸酶的定位研究。用于研究的鸟类包括食谷的菲律宾织布鸟、食果的大红鹳嘴犀鸟以及主要食鱼的白领翡翠。研究发现，通过不同的酶沉积情况可以看出，这些磷酸酶的活性在白领翡翠和大红鹳嘴犀鸟中往往较高，而在菲律宾织布鸟中相对较低。同时，还讨论了它们的功能意义，将酶活性与鸟类的特定食性联系起来。
