Comparison of ROI lipid profiles from a VDD and VDS zebrafish. Mirror plots from full-scan MS1 spectra illustrate the chemical diversity and changes in lipid composition observed in VDD fish.

Zebrafish orientation. A: All fish shown in IR-MALDESI-MSI images are presented in anterior to posterior and dorsal to ventral orientation. B: Representative histology image of a VDD fish with the visceral cavity (liver, intestines, spleen, and kidney) labeled.

MSiReader images representing a select group of EC precursors detected in negative ionization mode. Fish are in anterior to posterior, dorsal to ventral orientation. Each image contains two male zebrafish at 6 mpf: a VDD fish (left) followed by a VDS fish (right). All ions were significantly (∗P ≤ 0.1; ∗∗P ≤ 0.05) more abundant (2-fold or greater) in VDD fish than VDS fish. ∗See also Table 1.

MSiReader images representing a select group of EC ions detected in positive ionization mode. Fish are in anterior to posterior and dorsal to ventral orientation. Each image contains two male zebrafish at 6 mpf: a VDD fish (left) followed by a VDS fish (right). All ions were significantly (∗P ≤ 0.1; ∗∗P ≤ 0.05) more abundant (2-fold or greater) in VDD fish than VDS fish. ∗See also Table 2.

MSiReader images representing a select group of sterols in positive ionization mode. Fish are in anterior to posterior and dorsal to ventral orientation. Each image contains two male zebrafish at 6 mpf: a VDD fish (left) followed by a VDS fish (right). All ions were significantly (∗P ≤ 0.1; ∗∗P ≤ 0.05) more abundant (2-fold or greater) in VDD fish than VDS fish. ∗See also Table 2.

Evaluating AEA signaling, synthesis, and metabolism in VDD AT and Liver. A: VDD fish had significantly attenuated trpv1 and cnr2 expression and attenuated expression of cnr1 in AT compared with VDS fish. B: VDD fish had significantly increased napepld, abh4, and mgll expression in AT compared with VDS fish but significantly decreased daglb expression in liver. C: VDD fish had significantly increased faah1 and faah2a expression in AT compared with VDS fish.
