Mercury exposure modulates antioxidant enzymes in gill tissue and hemocytes of Venerupis philippinarum

Mercury (Hg), one of the most hazardous and persistent contaminants, is widespread in the aquatic environment. To establish an effective Hg monitoring strategy, the mRNA expression profiles of four antioxidant enzymes, as well as SOD enzymatic activities and MDA content were investigated at two subl...
