title: [Comparative characteristics of the antioxidant glutathione complex in the Black Sea molluscs Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. and Anadata inaequivalis Br].
abstract: Peculiarities of distribution of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products, glutathione (GSH) level, and antioxidant enzymes - glutathione peroxidase (GP) and glutathione reductase (GR) - in tissues of the Black Sea bivalve molluscs, Anadata inaequivalis Br. (anadara) and Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. (mussel, black morph) were studied as well as their comparative characteristics were presented. There were established differences in organization of the glutathione organization and in the LPO intensity in tissues of these mollusc species. In all anadara tissues the intensity of LPO processes was lower than that in Mytilus galloprovincialis. The GP activity in hepatopancreas and gills in mussels was significantly higher than in anadara. On the contrary, in foot the GP activity and the GSH content in anadara exceeded essentially those in mussel. The revealed differences might reflect peculiarities of metabolism orientation in tissues of anadara and mussel as well as effect habitat conditions on them.
