Figure 2. DEVDase (caspase 3-like) activity in the brain of PQ-exposed Drosophila.

Graphical representation of DEVDase activity in the brain homogenate of Drosophila after their exposure to PQ for 12 and 24 h; A significant decrease in enzyme activity was observed in the brain of PQ-exposed hsp70 over-expressing strain. Data are mean ± SD (n = 3). Significance ascribed as **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001 vs. control; ^$ p<0.05; ^$$ p<0.01 and ^$$$ p<0.001 vs. TH-Gal4>w¹¹¹⁸; ^## p<0.01 and ^### p<0.001 vs. w¹¹¹⁸.
