ABSTRACT We evaluated the capacity of metallothioneins (MT) in maintaining anaerobic metabolism in the green lipped mussel Perna viridis during experimentally induced oxidative stress. Mussels were exposed to 50 [micro]g/L of cadmium during seven days, followed by recuperation in the sea during 35 days. Other groups of cadmium pre-exposed organisms and their respective controls were exposed to 200 and 500 mM of ferric iron/100 mM ascorbate to promote the formation of reactive oxyge...
