Bombyx mori superoxide dismutases (BmSODs) mRNA expression in rotenone (ROT)-injected fat body. (a) BmSOD1, (b) BmSOD2, (c) BmSOD3, (d) BmSOD4, (e) BmSOD5, (f) BmSOD6, and (g) BmCCS mRNA expressions in fat bodies pooled from larvae subjected to ROT treatment at 1.0 h (n = 3), 2.0 h (n = 3), 6.0 h (n = 3), and 12.0 h (n = 3) and in controls (n = 3 each) were plotted as relative quantification (RQ) values. Error bars indicate the relative minimum/maximum expression levels against the mean RQ values. Bmrp49 was used as the endogenous control. Technical replication was performed in triplicate.
