Figure 4

Changes in the relative CAT mRNA levels [Type III (stronger) response] and CAT enzymatic activity [Type II & III (faster and stronger) responses] in the mantle of heat hardened (H) and non-hardened (C) Mytilus galloprovincialis when exposed to 24 °C (a,d), 26 °C (b,e) and 28 °C (c,f) compared to control at 18 °C. Values are means ± SD, n = 8 preparations from different animals. *p < 0.05 compared to day 0, +p < 0.05 compared to non-hardened (C) mussels.
