Lipid-lowering effect of PESF in the zebrafish hyperlipidemia model. (a) Representative photographs of zebrafish larval appearance with stainable lipids treated by PESF at different concentrations of 0, 200, 400 and 600 µg/mL respectively, in light (a1) and dark (a2) fields by a dissecting stereomicroscope. Stainable lipids in the zebrafish whole body (a1) (a2), gut (a3) and blood vessels (a4) decreased with PESF at concentrations of 0 to 400 µg/mL, but not 600 µg/mL. (b) Lipid content was normalized to the integral optical density (IOD) data through gut and blood vessel (a1) in the zebrafish larvae hyperlipidemia model.
