Figure 3.
Representative images of ion-treated zebrafish embryos used to determine heart rate at (a) 72 and (b) 96 hpf. (c) Mean heart rate of zebrafish embryos following 72- and 96-hpf treatments with indicated concentrations of different ions (Mg2+, Zn2+ and Ca2+). (d) Representative images of ion-treated zebrafish embryos used determine liver size at 96 h. (e) Mean liver size of zebrafish embryos after treatment with Mg (64 mM), Zn (500 μM), and Ca (128 mM) ions. * indicates significant difference compared to controls (p < 0.05).
