Activities of enzymes related to energetic metabolism in oyster tissues as a function of salinity, infection, and time. Only significant effects are represented. Data are means±s.e.m. (n=3 tanks). Letters indicate significant differences. (A) Quantification of Thr172 phosphorylation of AMPKα as a function of salinity. The protein values presented on the graph were quantified on three western blots and expressed in relative levels of OD/mm². Inset is a representative image of western blot of AMPKα Thr172 phosphorylation (62 kDa) in whole oyster tissues protein extract according to salinity, in controls and recipients. (B) Activity of hexokinase (HK) as a function of salinity × infection and salinity × time. (C) Activity of citrate synthase (CS) as a function of time.
