The AChE activity in three developmental stages of the insect was assayed as indicated in Materials and Methods. Data were analyzed by Graphpad software, values given
as mean ± SEM Values in parentheses are percent change over control. Significance (*) of data is shown in superscripts, nsP>0.05(non significant), *P<0.05(significant),
**P<0.01(very significant), C-Control (0%), 5% & 10% are 1/20 and 1/10 of LC50. |
