Figure 5. AaegGPRcal1 knockdown effect on fluid secretion in vitro and excretion in vivo.
(A) The rate of fluid secretion and secreted volume (B) were measured from single MTs from females treated with AaegGPRcal1 dsRNA (n = 10), EGFP dsRNA (n = 9), or water (n = 9). In (A) time periods E (↔) and C (↔) indicate equilibration and control conditions, respectively. In vivo effect of RNAi on the rate of fluid excretion (C) and cumulative excreted volume (D) over 1 h from females injected with AaegGPRcal1 dsRNA (N = 14), EGFP dsRNA (N = 11) or water (N = 10). Bars represent mean ± S.E.M (A–D) and data were analyzed with repeated measures using PROC GLMM Tukey-Kramer (* = P<0.05). In A, the * represent significant differences among all treatments only at 5 min after peptide application. In B–D the * represents only significant differences between the AaegGPRcal1 dsRNA treatment and both controls; there are no significant differences between control treatments (B–D).
