Antioxidant responses in different body regions of the polychaeta Laeonereis acuta (Nereididae) exposed to copper
Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes, total antioxidant capacity (TOSC) and concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured in anterior (A), middle (M) and posterior (P) body regions of Laeonereis acuta after copper (Cu; 62.5 microg/l) exposure. A catalase (CAT) activity gradient observed in control group (lowest in A, highest in P) was not observed in Cu exposed group. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in A region of Cu group was higher …
