Enzyme activities of A. aegypti flight muscle mitochondria.

Values were expressed as mean ± SD of nmol of products/min/mg protein. Statistical analyses between sexes were performed by using Student´s t or Mann-Whitney´s tests, whereas comparisons of different substrates within the same sex were carried out by using Kruskal-Wallis followed by a posteriori Dunn´s tests (indicated by superscript letters). Significant differences in “females” wereap.01 relative to NADH:Cytc oxido-reductase,bp.001 relative to Cytc oxidase. In “males” significant differences werecp.01 relative to NADH:Cytc oxido-reductase anddp.001 relative to Cytc oxidase. Superscript symbols represent statistical differences of all enzyme activities after normalization by citrate synthase activity as following:* p.001 relative to Cytc oxidase,** p.01 relative to Cytc oxidase,&p.001 relative to Cytc oxidase. n.d. means not detected.Enzyme activities of A. aegypti flight muscle mitochondria.
