Structure of the Adult giant danio DM. Scanning electron micrograph of adult giant danio heart illustrating the ventricle and the dense and highly trabeculated spongy heart, the thin epicardium (Epi) and relatively thick compact heart (Ch). The atrioventricular valves (Va) and part of the atrium (Atr) can also be seen (A). Higher magnification image (B) of the compact heart showing multiple layers of cardiac myocytes forming a thick myocardium, traversed by numerous coronary vessels (Vs), one of which contains a red blood cell (RBC). The junctional space (JS) between the compact and trabeculae is noted. Scale bar = 10 μm. Image of adult giant danio heart section double stained with wheat germ agglutinin (WGA, green) highlighting the borders of compact heart myocytes, and Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin (BS, red) labeling endothelial cells of the coronary vasculature in high density (C) and low density-reared fish (D). Scale bar = 20 μm. Quantitation of compact heart thickness (E) and minimal coronary vessels diameter (F) in 10-month old giant danio DM. Data analyzed using t-test with p < 0.05 considered significant.
