What Types of Toxicological Studies Are Conducted with Zebrafish Embryos?
Zebrafish embryos are used in a wide range of toxicological studies. These include testing the toxic effects of environmental pollutants, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals. They are also employed in high-throughput screening to identify potential drug candidates and in mechanistic studies to understand the pathways affected by toxicants. In addition, zebrafish embryos are used in ecotoxicology to assess the impact of contaminants on aquatic ecosystems.
