Fig. 5.

The patterns of UO, ALN, and ALLC gene expression in Ae. aegypti females (AaUO, AaALN, and AaALLC). Shown is the relative abundance of mRNA in FB and MT tissues of mosquitoes after feeding with a blood meal (A–F) or after feeding with 80 mM ¹⁵NH₄Cl (G and H). The mRNA levels were normalized according to the mRNA level of the S7 ribosomal protein. Sucrose-fed females (SF) were fed only on 3% sucrose. Data are presented as mean ± SE of three or five independent samples. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 (when compared with SF by ANOVA).
