Figure 1. Survivorship, hatch rate, and cardiotoxicity in zebrafish larvae exposed to polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NPs).
(A) Mortality of larvae exposed to PS NPs. Survivorship from 24–120 hpf (n=124–240). Hatch rate was evaluated at 72 hpf (n=50). (B) Pericardial area expressed as fold change. The circled area that the arrow is pointing at in the image is representative of the pericardial area used (n=5). (C) Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) (n=15). All data are presented as means ± SEM. Significance was accepted if p<0.05. Different letters denote statistical differences across treatments.
