Figure 2. Effects of cadmium on olfactory GST expression.
Gene expression of 9 GST isoforms, including; pi, rho, alpha, omega, microsomal GST, zeta, kappa, mu, and theta, in the olfactory rosettes of coho salmon exposed to 0, 3.7, and 347 ppb cadmium for 8, 24 and 48 hr periods. The 3.7 ppb and 347 ppb datasets are represented by light and dark bars, respectively. Data represent the mean ± SEM of GST isoform expression normalized to β-actin from 8 juvenile coho in each treatment group and are presented as percent-change relative to the corresponding controls. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences compared to control samples (p <0.05).
