Acetylcholinesterase activity, antioxidant defenses, and lipid peroxidation in the clam Semele solida: Can this species be used as a bioindicator?

We analyzed the relationships between biochemical parameters: acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE); glutathione S-transferase activity (GST); glutathione concentration (GSH) and lipid peroxidation; in the bivalve mollusc Semele solida, with the effects of environmental stress (anthropogenic activity...
