Fig. 6From: Molecular and expression characterization of insulin-like signaling in development and metabolism of Aedes albopictusTissue expression of ERK and AKT proteins in the female mosquito. a The proteins of female adults from sugar-feeding (SF) and blood-feeding (BF) groups were extracted and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Total and phosphorylation of ERK and AKT proteins were detected by Western blotting analysis. The ratios of ERK to actin were determined by using band density analysis. b Gray value analysis of total ERK/actin (T-ERK/actin), phosphorylated-ERK/actin (P-ERK/actin), total AKT/actin (T-AKT/actin) and phosphorylated-AKT/actin (P-AKT/actin). Data are presented as mean ± SEM from three independent experiments, *P < 0.05Back to article page
