Increased insulin production in DIO zebrafish. (a) Fasting blood glucose concentrations of ins-EGFP zebrafish after 3 months of normal feeding or overfeeding. n = 10. (b) Insulin-EGFP signals in exocrine pancreas were monitored in non-DIO and DIO ins-EGFP zebrafish by fluorescence stereoscopic microscopy. Scale bar = 0.5 mm. (c) Graph of the percentage of EGFP positive signal area in entire image. n = 3. (d) Graph of relative EGFP intensities from panel b. n = 3. (e) Western blot analysis for GFP signals in liver-pancreas tissue of non-DIO and DIO ins-EGFP. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S3. Values are means ± SE. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. the non-DIO group.

Assessment of visceral adipose tissue volume, plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in overfed zebrafish. (a) Changes in visceral adipose tissue volume in non-DIO and DIO zebrafish. Non-DIO group: n = 14; DIO group: n = 29. (b) Changes in plasma triglyceride (TG) levels in non-DIO and DIO zebrafish. Non-DIO group: n = 14; DIO group: n = 29. (c) Oil red O staining of liver sections. Red droplets indicate neutral lipid staining. Original magnification: × 400. Scale bar = 50 μm. Values are means ± SE. Statistical analyses were performed using Student’s t-test to compare the non-DIO and DIO groups at each time-point. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
