- Abstract
The effect of rapid changes in ambient temperature on the biochemical profile of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L., was studied under aquarian conditions. It was shown that modifications in the content of reserve and structural lipids and their fatty acids, activity of lysosomal enzymes (β-glycosidase, cathepsins B and D), cytosolic calcium-dependent proteases (calpains) and phase II enzymes of xenobiotic transformation (glutathione S-transferase) reflect a nonspecific compensatory response of bivalves to the stress-inducing effect of environmental factors and indicate a metabolic rearrangement which occurs in mussels within the first hours of temperature changes. High initial level of glutathione S-transferase activity in control mussels as well as elevation of glutathione concentration during experiment may promote favorable recovery of mussels from the hypometabolic state.
