Figure 1

Monosaccharide profile (A) and molecular weight distribution (B) of ginger peel polysaccharide (GPs) and their Zn (II) derivatives.
Figure 2

Morphological features of GPs and their Zn (II) derivatives. (A,B) SEM images of GPs at magnifications of 200× and 1000×, respectively; (C,D) SEM images of GP–Zn (II) complexes at magnifications of 200× and 1000×, respectively.
Figure 3

UV-vis spectra (A), FTIR spectra (B), XRD patterns (C) and CD spectra (D) of GPs and their Zn (II) derivatives.
Figure 4

Thermodynamic analysis of GPs and GP–Zn (II) complexes. (A) TG curves; (B) DTG curves.
Figure 5

Alleviation of CuSO4-induced inflammatory response in zebrafish by GPs and their Zn (II) derivatives. (A) Representative images of zebrafish treated with CuSO4, ibuprofen and different doses of GPs and GP–Zn (II) complexes; (B) Migration of macrophages to the lateral line revealed by Image-Pro Plus software. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters (a, b, c and d) indicate significant differences between the number of fluorescent cells (p < 0.05).
Figure 6

Effect of GPs and GP–Zn (II) complexes on the expression levels of inflammation-related cytokines in zebrafish. (A) IL-1β; (B) IL-6; (C) IL-8; (D) IL-12; (E) TNF-α; (F) IL-10. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters (a, b, c, d and e) indicate significant differences between the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines (p < 0.05).
