“…Experimental studies suggest that MeHg and Pb exposure can lead to a decrease in levels of the antioxidant molecules, such as the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), glutathione-peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which may result in oxidative damage in lipids, proteins and DNA (Barcelos et al, 2011a(Barcelos et al, , 2011bCarocci et al, 2014;Flora et al, 2012;Grotto et al, 2009).…”
