Fig. 8 FIGURE 8. NAI treatment down-regulates the expression of inflammatory genes leading to male-biased population. Zebrafish juveniles were exposed to 20 nm NAI for different periods of time followed by qPCR analysis of gene expression and sex ratio. Exposure at 15 dpf for 6 days was followed by analysis of ptgs2a (A), xiap (B), and zp2 (C). Zebrafish juveniles at 41 dpf were exposed for 24 h followed by qPCR analysis of ptgs2a (D). Juveniles at 15 dpf were exposed for 20 days, and the sex ratio was determined at 70 dpf (E). The mean and S.D. of three independent experiments are shown. Each group contained at least 30 individuals. Statistically significance difference from the control was determined using Student's t test (* p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01). Error bars represent the mean ± S.D.
