Change in embryo stage after coinjection of oxLDL and ketohexose-treated apoA-I at 0 and 25 hr postinjection. In order to compare production of reactive oxygen species, red fluorescence image (Ex = 588 nm, Em = 605 nm) of zebrafish embryo was obtained using a Nikon Eclipse TE2000 microscope (Tokyo, Japan) after dihydroethidium (DHE) staining as described in the text. f-A-I: fructose-treated apoA-I; t-A-I: tagatose-treated apoA-I; p-A-I: psicose-treated apoA-I; H2O-A-I: H2O-treated apoA-I.
