Enzymatic activities in larvae exposed to α-mangostin

	n	Mean (SE)	P value
Cytochrome P450 activity (μmol 7-OH/mg larvae/min)
Control	71	6.4 (0.36)	0.007
α-Mangostin treated	71	8.2 (0.6)
Esterase activity (μmol β-napthol/mg protein/min)
Control	36	0.26 (0.01)	0.05
α-Mangostin treated	36	0.23 (0.01)
GST activity (μmol/mg/min)
Control	20	0.35 (0.02)	0.002
α-Mangostin treated	20	0.44 (0.02)

Late third instar Ae. aegypti larvae (Rockefeller strain) were exposed to 2.5 μgml⁻¹ of α-mangostin for 24 h. Early fourth instar larvae were used for enzyme assays. Student t tests were used to determine P value.
