Figure 3.

Scanning electron microscopy of zebrafish embryos treated with simvastatin. Ultrastructural features are observed in control embryos (a), which show a somewhat straight body with prominent caudal fin (labeled with yellow). High-dose simvastatin-treated embryos (b–c) have a reduced body length, with a bent tail. The caudal fin, seen more clearly in the higher magnification in (c), is drastically reduced. Scale bars: a = 150 µm, b = 100 µm, and c = 40 µm. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
