Abstract
The main components of the antioxidant (AO) system, that is, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase, as well as the glutathione content of cells of the digestive organs, have been measured in 26 species of marine invertebrates that belong to four taxonomic groups from the Possiet Bay, Sea of Japan. It has been shown that the activities of antioxidant enzymes and glutathione content are species specific. In the digestive organs of echinoderms, the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the glutathione content are generally higher compared with those in mollusks. All the studied species exhibit the greatest variability in the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase; the lowest variability occurred in activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione content. The possible causes of the differences in the levels of the investigated components of the AO system are discussed.
