Understanding dioxin developmental toxicity using the zebrafish model
6 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have advantages over mammals as an animal model for investigating developmental toxicity. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin, TCDD), a persistent global contaminant, is the most comprehensively studied developmental toxicant in zebrafish. The hallmark responses of TCDD developmental toxicity manifested in zebrafish larvae include edema, anemia, hemorrhage, and ischemia associated...
