The effects of various ratios of β-cyclodextrin included in compound K (CD-CK) in alloxan-induced pancreatic islet-damaged zebrafish. (A) The size change in the pancreatic islets in each group. (B) Fluorescence intensity analysis of the zebrafish pancreatic islets. (C) Representative final pancreatic islet images of the normal (NOR), alloxan (AX), compound K (CK), β-cyclodextrin (CD):CK [0:1], CD:CK [1:1], CD:CK [3:1], CD:CK [5:1] and CD:CK [10:1] groups. Pancreatic islet stained with 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose. The white arrow indicates the location of pancreatic islet. Scale bar = 100 μm. #p < 0.05; compared to the normal group. * p < 0.05. ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001, compared to the alloxan group.
