In the human body, copper is an important trace element and is a cofactor for several
important enzymes involved in energy production, iron metabolism, neuropeptide activation …

Zinc (Zn) is plant micronutrient, which is involved in many physiological functions, and an
inadequate supply will reduce crop yields. Its deficiency is the widest spread micronutrient …

Abstract Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), one of the oldest cultivated crops, continues to be
widely grown for oil, fiber and food. Furthermore, the plants show a metal tolerance …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations act as
signaling of several abiotic stresses. Overproduction of hydrogen peroxide causes the …

Stress factors provoke enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants.
ROS that escape antioxidant-mediated scavenging/detoxification react with biomolecules …

Plants exposed to excess metals are challenged by an increased generation of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O 2•-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the …

All metal oxide nanoparticles influence the growth and development of plants. They
generally enhance or reduce seed germination, shoot/root growth, biomass production and …

The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrates, and homeostasis of the brain
is crucial for fish survival. Copper (Cu) is essential for normal cellular processes in most …

The muscle is the main portion of fish that is consumed by humans. Copper (Cu) can induce
oxidative damage in fish muscle. However, the effects of Cu exposure on the muscle …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate antioxidative responses and proline metabolism in
roots and leaves of wheat seedlings after treatment with different zinc (Zn) concentrations (0 …
