Figure 7. Functional prediction and metabolic differences in irradiated and non-irradiated male mosquitoes. (A) Functional prediction of gut microbiota using PICRUSt2; (B) Glutamine synthetase activity; (C) Protein carbonyl content; (D) Glucose content. (E) Lipid peroxidation level; (F) Hydrogen peroxide content. All metabolic parameters were measured using commercial assay kits. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the metabolic parameters between control and irradiated groups. * indicates P < 0.05, ** indicates P < 0.01, represents statistically significant difference. SD: Standard deviation.
