Using Zebrafish as a Model System for Studying the Transgenerational Effects of Dioxin
27 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
2,3,7,8 Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been associated with many disease states in humans. A rising concern is that exposure early in life can lead to adult toxicity and toxicity in subsequent generations.

We have maintained the offspring of these exposed F₀...
