Enzymatic activities in midgut juice (A–C,E,F) or midgut homogenate (D) from larvae reared on SD (white bars) and VMD (grey bars). Total proteolytic activity in midgut juice extracted from anterior, middle, and posterior midgut (A). Trypsin- (B) and chymotrypsin- (C) like activity in midgut juice extracted from posterior midgut. Aminopeptidase N activity in the homogenate of posterior midgut (D). α-amylase activity in midgut juice extracted from anterior, middle, and posterior midgut (E). Lipase activity in midgut juice extracted from anterior and posterior midgut; n.d. non-detectable activity (F). The values are reported as mean ± s.e.m. of at least 3 experiments. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between diet groups (unpaired t-test: * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001).
