Figure Lengend Snippet: CRISPR sgRNA/Cas9 complexes were injected into single-cell embryos that were then treated with L-thyroxine (0.6 µM) at 3 dpf, and mestranol (25 µM) at 4 dpf, followed by assessment of laser-mediated endothelial injury at 5 dpf. Increased TTO observed in wild-type embryos treated with thyroid hormone was diminished upon thr knockdown, indicating involvement of thyroid receptor signaling. Increased TTO levels were still present in the L-thyroxine-mestranol combination groups. ****: p<0.0001, ***: p<0.001, **: p<0.01, *: p<0.05, ns: not significant. wt: wild-type (uninjected fabp-fgb-egfp control group), - thr : combined knockdown of all thyroid hormone receptor paralogs thraa , thrab , and thrb . All data were collected by an observer blinded to the condition.
