Quantification of ATP/ADP, total RNA, protein content and kDNA minicircles during the life cycle of <i>L (V</i>.<i>) braziliensis</i>.

<p><b>A</b>, Ama^int, Ama^axe and Pro^sta show decreased levels of ATP in comparison to Pro^log. The asterisks represent statistically significant differences in comparison to Pro^log. Because of the decreased levels of ATP, ADP/ATP ratio is increased in Ama^int in comparison to the Pro^log and Pro^sta. The asterisks represent statistically significant differences in comparison to Ama^int. <b>B</b>, The Ama^axe show a decrease in the total content of RNA and protein in comparison to Pro^log and Pro^sta. The asterisks represent statistically significant differences in comparison to Ama^axe. <b>C</b>, The kDNA mini circles decrease in Ama^int in comparison to Pro^log, Pro^sta and Ama^axe. The asterisks represent statistically significant differences after multiple t-test between all the pairs. The number of asterisks in figures A and B represents different significance levels (* P ≤ 0.05 and ** P ≤ 0.01) using one-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni's Multiple Comparison Test.
