Species sensitivity comparisons across ligands
| Adenine nucleotide | Ae. aegypti | An. gambiae | F (DFn, DFd) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATP | 0.071 ± 0.19 | 0.67 ± 0.13 | 84.24 (1, 94) | < 0.0001 |
| ADP | 0.305 ± 0.25 | 1.17 ± 0.10 | 45.66 (1, 96) | < 0.0001 |
| AMP | 1.01 ± 0.12 | 2.24 ± 0.096 | 23.42 (1, 98) | < 0.0001 |
Values are EC50 values and were obtained using a non-linear regression curve fit model using a least-square regression statistical fitting method
ADP Adenosine diphosphate, AMP adenosine monophosphate, ATP adenosine triphosphate, DFd degree of freedom for the denominator of the F ratio, DFn degree of freedom for the numerator of the F ratio, EC50 half maximal effective concentration (M)
