Antioxidant responses of Laeonereis acuta (Polychaeta) after exposure to hydrogen peroxide
Abstract
The effects of H2O2 were evaluated in the estuarine worm Laeonereis acuta (Polychaeta, Nereididae) collected at the Patos Lagoon estuary (Southern Brazil) and maintained in the laboratory under controlled salinity (10 psu diluted seawater) and temperature (20 degrees C).
