Acute Exposure to Permethrin Modulates Behavioral Functions, Redox, and Bioenergetics Parameters and Induces DNA Damage and Cell Death in Larval Zebrafish

Figure 10

Exposure to permethrin (25 and 50 μg/L) causes cell death by apoptosis in zebrafish larvae. The frequency of apoptotic cells was estimated in the head of zebrafish larvae by measuring the total fluorescence in the area. (a) Representative image of the acridine orange staining and fluorescence imaging, indicating the presence of apoptotic cells (white arrows), and (b) the respective quantification of acridine orange relative fluorescence. Values are expressed as and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc comparison. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences ().
