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

Figure 2

Behavioral assays using the Open Field test to measure the exploratory and motor behaviors in control (CTL) and permethrin (25 and 50 μg/L) exposed zebrafish larvae. (a) Total distance traveled (average for the ), (b) absolute turn angle (average for the ), (c) total immobility time (average for the ), (d) total time spent in the central zone (average for the ), and (e) average time spent in the central zone per visit (average for the ). The parametric dates are expressed as and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc; and nonparametric dates are expressed as , analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis followed by Dunn’s post hoc. Groups not sharing letters are significantly different ().
