Fig. 2 Fig. 2. A?D: Control and examples of VPA treated larvae at 5 dpf. Larvae are stained with Alcian blue (cartilage) and Alizarin red (mineralization). A: Control larvae. B: Larva treated with 100 ?M VPA during 1?13 hpf, showing reduced size of cartilage elements and lacking mineralization of the notochord sheath, branchiostegal ray 1 and the entopterygoid bone (see arrowheads). C: Larva treated with 50 ?M VPA during 25?37 hpf, showing small reductions in the length of the ceratohyals (asterisks). D: Larva treated with 100 ?M VPA during 25?37 hpf with reduced size of cartilage elements and lacking mineralization of the notochord sheath, ceratobranchial 5 (arrows) and the entopterygoid bone (arrowheads). Scale bars are 100 ?m.
