Effects of estrogen on gut (IMAGE)
Caption
Fluorescent image of the gut region in zebrafish larvae showing macrophages, a type of immune cell. The green signal marks the centre of the macrophages, while the red signal shows the cell body.
Preliminary imaging suggests that estrogen treatment may alter the distribution of macrophages in the zebrafish gut, providing a way to investigate how hormone signalling affects immune cells in the intestine.
