(A) Ammonia reacts with α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to form L-glutamate and NADP in a reaction catalyzed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) {L-glutamate: NAD(P) + oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.3}, which is followed by a reduction of absorbance at 340nm; (B) Ammonia concentration in mosquito adults. Mean values with different grouping letters were significantly different (N=10–18; One-way ANOVA; P < 0.05); (C) Ammonia concentration in mosquito pupae. Mean values with different grouping letters were significantly different (N=12; One-way ANOVA; P < 0.05). Error bars = Standard error of the mean.
