The Vg transcript levels in T. molitor female fat body tissue 24 h after injection of PS (control), alloferon, C8-, C14- or C16-alloferon at a concentration of 10–7 M were calculated via the relative quantification method. The data are presented as the means ± SDs, n > 190. Statistical significance was tested by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparisons test (F = 3.328, p = 0.0173). Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences from the control values; p ≤ 0.05 (*), p ≤ 0.01 (**). Red line – expression level in the control.
