Abstract
Electrophoretic pattern of esterases from larvae ofTribolium castaneum fed on a diet which included hormetic concentrations of azadirachtin (viz. 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 ppm) for 10 d were studied. The results showed a dose-dependent variation in the multiple molecular forms of the esterases. The variations, however, were not limited to the synthesis of new isoforms or the deletion of existing ones; there was also variation in their relative abundance.
