The utility of antioxidant enzymes, via superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), as biomarkers of lead pollution in urban atmosphere of Baku was investigated by using the Pyrchantha coccnia. At higher lead concentrations (105.74 ppm), CAT, SOD, APX and GPX exhibited remarkable induction (22.9968, 3.3664, 3.324 and 81.318 unit g-1 FW, respectively) with increasing ...
