Relative to the baseline measurements at 0 h, A. veronii infection induced statistically significant upregulation (p < 0.05) of the hepatopancreatic sod gene expression in both the 0.1 g/kg (23.6%, 20.0%, and 13.5% increases) and 10.0 g/kg (28.0%, 22.9%, and 21.9% increases) treatment groups at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post-infection, respectively, demonstrating dose-dependent transcriptional activation patterns. Here, SOD1 is linked to infection.
