Phenotypic analysis, expression of cmlc2 and heart rate analysis after early exposure of alcohol. (A) Morphological characteristics of the heart in alcohol-exposed larvae. (B) Ventral view of the expression of cmlc2 in the heart of alcohol-treated larvae with the head at the top at 30, 54 and 78hpf. (C-E) Heart-rate analysis in ethanol-treated larvae at 30 hpf (C), 54 hpf (D) and 78 hpf (E). Red dotted line, atrium; white dotted line, ventricle. Error bars represent meanĀ±s.e.m.; **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 by one-way ANOVA; n=48 for each group.

The effect of alcohol exposure on the blood vessels of zebrafish larvae at 30, 54, 78 and 102hpf. (A-D) Morphology of blood vessels in control group at 30, 54, 78 and 102hpf. (E-H) Morphology of blood vessels in 1% group at 30, 54, 78 and 102hpf. (I-L) Morphology of blood vessels in 2% group at 30, 54, 78 and 102hpf.

Morphology, histopathological examination and vascular structure in ethanol-treated and untreated larvae. (A-C) Morphological characteristics of ethanol-treated and untreated larvae at 6dpf. (D-I) H&E staining of transverse sections at site of abdomen in untreated and ethanol-treated larvae. Boxed areas in D,F,H magnified in E,G,I. (J,L,N) Reconstructed images of vascular structure in untreated and ethanol-treated larvae by confocal imaging. (K,M,O) Tomography of vascular structure in control and alcohol-treated larvae by confocal imaging. Asterisk in N,O indicates destruction in dorsal aorta.
