Table 2 Comparison of enzyme activities of SENN and SENN-DDT An. arabiensis adults eclosed from fasted larvae (2 day cohort) against their corresponding control cohorts (eclosed from larvae fed thrice daily) by gender

	SENN fasted ♂	SENN fasted ♀	SENN-DDT fasted ♂	SENN-DDT fasted ♀
Cytochrome P450	↓(0.02)	↓(<0.01)	-	↓(0.02)
Alpha esterase	-	↓(<0.01)	↓(<0.01)	↓(<0.01)

Statistical significance was assessed by 2 sample t-test. Significant decreases (↓) are accompanied by their respective p values in parentheses and hyphens indicate no statistically significant differences.
