Table 4. Effects of the lectins, concanavalin A (Con A), and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) on iPOD and cPOD activity. Peroxidase activity was determined by absorbance change measurement at 430nm in the presence of 20mM pyrogallol.

Means followed by an asterisk are significantly different from control at P < 0.05, according to Holm–Sidak test.
