Ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (EROD) and deformity response of King's Creek and Elizabeth River embryos exposed to carbaryl.
Response of King's Creek (black bars and solid line) and Elizabeth River (white bars and dashed line) embryos exposed to 1 mg/L carbaryl or 10 mg/L carbaryl from 24 to 144 hours post fertilization (hpf). CYP1 activity was measured by the in ovo ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase (EROD) assay at 96 hpf; lines show average EROD activity (±SEM) expressed as percent of King's Creek DMSO-dosed control EROD activity. Cardiac deformities were scored blind on a three point scale (0 = normal heart, 1 = mild deformity, 2 = severe deformity) at 144 hpf; bars show average deformity score (±SEM). Bars marked by * are significantly different from the corresponding DMSO-dosed control at p<0.05 (ANOVA, Dunnett's adjustment). EROD points marked by # are significantly different at p<0.05 (ANOVA, Dunnett's adjustment). n=30 per treatment group.
