Analysis of the total protein, fatty acid and ATP contents in the midgut of Bombyx mori. a Total protein concentration of midgut tissues of B. mori infected with N. bombycis and uninfected. b The relative content of fatty acid in infected and uninfected midgut tissue of B. mori; C17H34O2: hexadecanoic acid methyl esters; C18H28O3: benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-, methyl ester); C18H36O2: palmitic acid ethyl ester; C19H38O2: methyl stearate; C20H40O2: octadecanoic acid ethyl ester; c The content of ATP in infected and uninfected midgut tissue of B. mori. Data are presented as the mean ± SE of triplicate experiments. Statistically significant differences between the infected groups and control non-infected groups were determined using Student’s t-test. *P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
