- Intervention effect At 50 µM cadmium, reduced glutathione content decreased slightly.
- Intervention effect At 50 µM cadmium, antioxidant enzymes except superoxide dismutase increased.
- Intervention effect At 50 µM cadmium, H2O2 concentration increased.
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content, lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation were unaffected at 50 µM CdCl2.
- Intervention effect GSH content decreased under 100 and 200 µM CdCl2.
- Intervention effect At 100 and 200 µM CdCl2, antioxidant enzyme activities decreased except superoxide dismutase.
- Intervention effect Superoxide dismutase activity remained unchanged at 100 and 200 µM CdCl2.
- Intervention effect Higher cadmium concentrations increased lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and H2O2 concentration.
- Association Effects were strongest at the highest cadmium chloride concentration.
