Experimental data sets on the evaluation of graphene oxide as a thyroid endocrine disruptor and a modulator of gas gland cells in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) larvae at the onset of maturity.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the experimental datasets obtained from the histological/histochemical studies of endocrine disrupting effects of graphene oxide (GO) on thyroid follicles and gas gland (GG) cells of Japanese medaka larvae at the onset of maturity. The experiment was conducted on one day-post hatch (dph) starved fries (orange-red variety) immersed in different concentrations of GO (2.5-20.0 mg/L) and no GO (controls) in embryo-rearing medium (ERM) for 96 h under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °C; light cycle 16 h light: 8 h dark). After treatment, larvae were maintained in balanced salt solution (BSS) with food and allowed depuration for 6 more weeks in a GO-free environment. On 47 dph, the larvae were anesthetized in MS 222 and their total lengths (mm) and weights (mg) were measured,
