Antioxidant response modulated by copper in healthy or parasitized carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) by Ptychobothrium sp. (Cestoda).
An increased antioxidant response (catalase, glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GRd) activities in liver and GST activity in head kidney) was observed in carp parasitized by Ptychobothrium sp. compared to healthy fish. In case of a copper contamination of these fish, the decrease in enzymatic activities observed was less pronounced in parasitized than in healthy carp.
