Transcript abundance of genes involved in cortisol metabolism, steroidogenesis, and stress modulation in control and ELC larvae. (A-L) Fold change in expression of selected genes relative to control reference samples, measured under baseline (basal) conditions and at 30, 60, or 120 min after high-strength vortex exposure in control (black) and ELC (orange) larvae; N=5 per group. P-values for group and time factors from two-way ANOVAs are shown in the top-left corner of each panel. Asterisks indicate Bonferroni's test results following the ANOVAs (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001). (M) Density grid summarizing fold change comparisons in expression levels of the 12 target genes. Asterisks on the right denote results for the group and time factors from two-way ANOVAs. Asterisks within ELC panels indicate Bonferroni's test results following the ANOVAs. (See Results for details.)
