dc.description.abstractBisphenol A (BPA), is one of the most important industrial chemicals synthesized for diverse applications. The environmental concentrations of BPA are at high risk level due to use widely in many fields of industry according to the latest studies. In our study mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were exposed to 50 μg/L of BPA and the changes of hepatic biomarker glutathione-s transferase (GST) activity were investigated. The results showed that the activity of GST was increased in BPA group (20.44 %) compared with control. Based on this experiment, we recommended that GST might be used as a biomarker of environmental pollution. © by PSP.
