DZP and MACB enhance the locomotor behavior activity of larvae. (a) The distance of zebrafish larvae treated with DZP. Larvae moved every 1 min at 120 hpf exposed to alternating cycles of light and dark for 60 min each. (b) Total distance moved in each light period by larvae treated with DZP. (c) The distance of zebrafish larvae treated with MACB. Larvae moved every 1 min at 120 hpf exposed to alternating cycles of light and dark for 60 min each. (d) Total distance moved in each light period by larvae treated with MACB. Total distance moved in each dark period by larvae treated with (e) DZP and (f) MACB. 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.
