The stress markers levels (mean ± SD) in midgut tissue of G. mellonella exposed to CdO NPs (0.03 mg/g body weight) for 48 h. (A) (THC)—total hemocyte count, (B) (MDA)—malondialdehyde, (C) (TP)—total protein, (D) (SOD —superoxide dismutase, (E) GSH—reduced glutathione, (F) (P450)—cytochrome P450, (G) (GST)—glutathione S-transferase, (H) CarE—carboxylesterase, (I) (MT)—metallothioneins, (J) (HSP 70)—70 kDa heat shock protein, and (K) (HSP 90)—90 kDa heat shock protein. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 indicate significant differences between the exposed group and the control group (unpaired t-test).
