Figure 12.

Expression profiles of transcripts associated with defensive enzymes CYP, SOD, CAT, and HSP70 in the gills of L. fortunei exposed to MDX-100 compared to a control group maintained in dechlorinated water with continuous aeration. Three treatment durations were investigated: (A) (24 h after conditional exposure), (B) (48 h after conditional exposure), and (C) (72 h after conditional exposure). Data is represented as mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean). Statistically significant differences are denoted by * p < 0.05.
