Hepatic CYP1A expression in medaka.
The CYP1A value (y-axis) is given as the mean 2−ΔCt value + s.e.m. (individual data points normalized to the internal control48) for the 1-month (left) and 2-month (right) exposure for males (M) and females (F) separately (n = 3). For all graphs the negative control (NC) treatment is depicted by white, the virgin-plastic (VP) treatment by diagonal and the marine-plastic (MP) treatment by black bars. For CYP1A expression, 1-factor ANOVAs showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) between treatments for either sex after both time periods.
