Raletive expression of super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione S-transferase(GST) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) gene in the fatbodies of A. pernyi exposed to 6.25 mM uranyl acetate for 4 h. The values represent mean±SE (n=3). For each experiment, samples were analyzed in triplicate.
