Survival rates of zebrafish eggs after vehicle injection and 24 h post injection with 4.2 nL vehicle. (A) Survival rates [%] of zebrafish eggs after vehicle injection into the yolk sac of the one-cell stages (V = 4.2 nL, respectively) differed depending on substance: highest survival rates after () triolein injection, followed by () autoclaved tap water. Individuals injected with () dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or () methanol showed lower survival rates. (SD = standard deviation). (B) Survival rates of zebrafish eggs 24 h post injection with 4.2 nL vehicle, respectively, showing differences in survival. Highest survival rates were obtained after triolein injection, followed by water, DMSO, and methanol (MeOH) injection.
