Also the antioxidant enzymes catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase were affected.

Activity changes of soluble and membrane bound glutathione S-transferase (s- and mGST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) to environmental stress were explored in precultured mussels exposed for one day to one week at selected sites with reasonable anthropogenic impact.

Several pollution biomarkers in muscle (activity of cholinesterases) and liver/hepatopancreas (catalase, glutathione S-transferases, carboxylesterases, ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase in fish or mixed function oxygenase (MFO)-related reductases in crustacean, and lipid peroxidation levels) were measured.

The levels of the two antioxidant enzyme activities revealed that they are species-dependent with mullet's livers showing higher superoxide dismutase (SOD) (13.2+/-0.5 U/mg protein) and catalase (CAT) (15.5+/-1.0 mmol/min/mg protein) activities than flounder (SOD: 7.9+/-0.9 U/mg protein; CAT: 11.1+/-0.8 mmol/min/mg protein).
