Figure 5

Effect of a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME) on the anti-diuretic activity of AedaeCAPA-1 and cGMP in DromeDH31-stimulated A. aegypti MTs. The NOS inhibitor, L-NAME, was applied against (A) DromeDH31- and (B) 5HT-stimulated MTs alone or in the presence of either AedaeCAPA-1 or cGMP. Secretion rates are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 17–22. Columns that are significantly different from unstimulated controls are denoted with a distinct letter, as determined by a one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-test (p < 0.05).
