Abstract

The activity of the antioxidant defences catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), glutathione peroxidase (t-GPX, EC 1.11.1.9), glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2), phase II glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18) along with the NADPH-dependent cytochrome c (CYP) reductase (EC 1.6.2.4), NADH-dependent cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.2), and NADH-dependent ferricyanide (b5) reductase (EC 1.18.1.1) was determined in the digestive gland of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis fed with Tetraselmis sp. pre-exposed to the water accommodated fraction of the Prestige oil. Mussel gills were also used for measuring acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) and lipid peroxidation (LP) as an indication of neurotoxicity and oxidative stress damage respectively. Bioaccumulation of the selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (2 to 6 rings PAHs) in mussels after 2, 4, 7 and 10 days of exposure did not show any significant trend; the 2-3 ring PAHs were best represented (51%). A significant (p
