Fig. 1: Total protein, carbohydrate and lipid content of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test

Fig. 2: Trehalase, invertase and amylase activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test

Fig. 3: Protease activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test.

Fig. 4: Lipase activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test.

Fig. 5: Glutamic oxaloacetic acid transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic acid transaminase (GPT) activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test; IU: international unit.

Fig. 6: Alkaline phosphatase (AkP) and acid phosphatase (AcP) activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm). Different letters above the bars (SE) indicate significant differences (P < 0.05); using Duncan’s multiple range test; IU: international unit.

Fig. 7: Chitinase activity of Cx. pipiens late third-instar larvae 24 h post-treatment with the LC₅₀ of lambda-cyhalothrin (0.045 ppm) and lufenuron (0.025 ppm).
