Exposure to 500 ?M Cd resulted in significant induction of SOD actvity. Exposure to high (500 ?M) and low concentration (5 ?M) led to a clear induction of CAT activity with respect to control group. Exposure to 5 ?M Cd increased GR activity. GST activity was induced but GSH level reduced by exposure to 5 ?M Cd. © by PSP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntioxidative enzymesCadmiumGlutathione levelWhite rot fungiResponse of antioxidant defence system to cadmium-induced toxicity in white rot fungus phanerochaete chrysosporiumArticle1912 A305930652-s2.0-79952601602N/A
