a: TUNEL assay for detection apoptosis in the ovarian tissues of beetles. Under fluorescent microscopy light green: normal DNA (non-apoptotic cell) and bright green: damaged DNA (apoptotic cell) (× 100). b: Apoptotic rate in the ovarian tissues of the control group and the Au-NPs treated group. Data are expressed as mean ± SE.
