Fig. 7 Oxidative stress indicated by mCherry fluorescence measured in 3EpRE:hsp70:mCherry zebrafish embryo-larvae after exposure to AuNPs for 24 h. The kidney outline is highlighted over the brightfield image (A) and over the red fluorescence (mCherry) detection image (B). The fluorescence signal from the AuNPs is faintly visible in (C). These Zeiss Inverted images are for EpRE zebrafish embryo-larvae exposed to 2 mg/L 80 nm AuNPs. Data for exposure to (D) 40 nm and (E) 80 nm AuNPs are represented as means ± SEM for two independent experiments n = 12. (Kruskal-Wallis test followed by a Dunn’s post hoc test; ns = not significant).
