Figure 2. (A) Histologic sections through the gonads and caudal coelomic cavities of medaka from unexposed control (left column) and treatment fish chronically exposed to high dose (204.3 mGy/day) ionizing radiation (right column). In the upper left, mature testicular tissue exhibits a normal progression of spermatogenesis from primary spermatocytes (PS) to mature sperm (S). In the lower left, ovarian tissue contains normal developing pre-vitellogenic (PV) and post-vitellogenic (V) follicles. In the right column, male (upper) and female (lower) gonadal tissue was not identifiable in the coelomic cavities of fish exposed to high dose radiation. Remaining identifiable structures include normal intestine (I), pancreas and adipose (P), and swim bladder (SB). (B) Percentage of individuals with regressed gonads exposed to low (L) 2.25 mGy/day, medium (M) 21.01 mGy/day, and high (H) 204.3 mGy/day for 190 days.

Figure 3. Total proteins identified in Carcasses and Organs after chronic exposure to low levels of IR. Histograms showing the total number of proteins identified in carcasses (A) and organs (C) by label-free approach in 3 levels of IR used and the no-irradiated (0.1 mGy/day) group. Venn diagrams presented the distribution of the proteins identified in each irradiated group and in the non-irradiated group in carcasses (B) and Organs (D). The white circle indicates the number of unique proteins expressed in that group, and the black circle indicates the proteins that were expressed in all the groups. Control: no irradiated group, low: 2.25 mGy/day, medium: 21.01 mG/day and high: 204.3 mGy/day.

Figure 4. Volcano plot illustrates significantly differentially proteins following 190 days of exposure to low levels of IR relative to control in carcasses (top row) and organs (bottom row) for low: 2.25 mGy/day, medium: 21.01 mGy/day, and high: 204.3 mGy/day. The − log10 (p-value) is plotted against the log2 (fold change: irradiated sample/control sample). Data points in gray denote proteins with insignificant fold changes (<2), while proteins with a fold change >2 but not statistically different from the control are in cyan. Proteins with log2 Fold change that is statistically different from the control samples are highlighted in red. Data points in black represent unique proteins.
