COPPER EFFECT ON COMPONENTS OF THE ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM OF THE DIGESTIVE GLAND IN THE FRESHWATER MUSSEL ANODONTA CYGNEA
The effects of copper accumulation and its impact on the functioning of some components of the antioxidant system (AOS) – CAT, GST, GSH – in the digestive gland of the freshwater mussel Anodonta cygnea were studied in an aquarium experiment. After a 12‑day acclimation, the mussels were divided among...
