The Change of Metallothionein and Oxidative Response in Gills of the <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> after Exposure to Copper

The Change of Metallothionein and Oxidative Response in Gills of the <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> after Exposure to Copper

In the present study, we investigated the effects of waterborne copper (Cu) on the levels of metallothionein (MT) and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in gills of cichlid fish <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>. The Cu concentrations...
