APPLICATION OF A IMAGEJ-BASED METHOD TO MEASURE BLOOD FLOW IN ADULT ZEBRAFISH AND ITS APPLICATIONS FOR TOXICOLOGICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS

Application of a ImageJ-Based Method to Measure Blood Flow in Adult Zebrafish and Its Applications for Toxicological and Pharmacological Assessments

Blood flow is an important physiological endpoint to measure cardiovascular performance in animals.Because of their innate transparent bodies, zebrafish is an excellent animal model for assessing in vivo cardiovascular performance.Previously, various helpful methods for measuring blood flow in zebrafish larvae were discovered and developed.However,
