Locomotor responses of larval zebrafish (n = 48) upon exposure to diisononyl phthalate (BBzP) (A,B), di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) (C,D), and benzyl butyl phthalate (DiNP) (E,F). Locomotor response was divided into the dark (A,C,E) and light phase (B,D,F) for each phthalate. () represents a significant hyperactivity compared with control and () indicates a significant hypoactivity compared with control. (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01). Dist: distance. Dur: duration. The attention is needed on different scale of total distance in each graph.

FIs of Tg(huc:EGFP), Tg(sox10:EGFP), and Tg(mbp:GFP) for BBzP (A), DEHP (B), and DiNP (C). FI was averaged from 10 images/treatment. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05.

Representative images of Tg(HuC:EGFP), Tg(sox10:EGFP), and Tg(mbp:GFP) in untreated controls and embryos treated with BBzP, DEHP, and DiNP at 10 K μg/L.

Fold change to expression levels of ache, dat, drd1b, and th in zebrafish larvae exposed to BBzP (A), DEHP (B), and DiNP (C) at concentrations of 5, 50, and 500 μg/L. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05.
