Uric acid and uricolytic activity in gut of insects treated with antifungals. (A) Uric acid content in D. opuntiae gut. * shows significant difference between treatments (t-test t = 10.05; df = 2; P = 0.0098). (B) Uricolytic activity in D. opuntiae gut. * shows significant difference between treatments (t-test t = 3.671 df = 4, P = 0.0214). Values are shown as means ± SE of five independent experiments.
