Table 1 Fatty acid profile of honey bee brains. “Control” refers to control group with no treatment; “AcetLow”, “AcetMedium” and “AcetHigh” refer to 0.363, 0.727 and 1.453 µg/bee/day acetamiprid exposures, respectively. Data is expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM), as µg fatty acid/g sample. Significant differences between experimental groups (control vs. treated groups) are indicated with asterisks. *P < 0.05.; **P < 0.01.; ***P < 0.001.
