Assessment of trace element contamination and effects on Paracentrotus lividus using several approaches: Pollution indices, accumulation factors and biochemical tools

“…Therefore, the increase in these en- zymes suggests an activation of detoxification processes, probably reflecting high stress (Louiz et al, 2016). A large number of other studies have shown higher activity of CAT and GST in organisms collected from contaminated sites (Bougherira et al, 2015;Keblouti et al, 2015;Bouzenda et al, 2017). Regoli et al (2002b) consider CAT a sensitive and important biomarker of oxidative stress superior to SOD, explaining the invariance of specific SOD activity in this study.…”
