DZP and MACB stimulate neurogenesis. (a) Treatment flowchart for DZP and MACB exposure in embryonic zebrafish. (b) Representative images for the protein expression of HuC-GFP in the transgenic (TG) zebrafish treated with 0.05 nM DZP or MACB. The intensity of HuC was the indicator of neurogenesis and quantified by measuring the fluorescence length. The zebrafish larvae of HuC-GFP line treated with (c) DZP or (d) MACB for 72 hpf. Data was analyzed by nonparametric, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, larvae per group, followed with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, expressed as . ; ; ; NS: not significant.
