Anatomical Assessment of the Adult Skeleton of Zebrafish Reared Under Different Thyroid Hormone Profiles

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid hormone (TH) directs the growth and maintenance of tissues throughout the body during development and into adulthood, and plays a particularly important role in proper ossification and homeostasis of the skeleton. To better understand the roles of TH in the skeletogenesis of a vertebrate model, and to define areas of the skeleton that are particularly sensitive to developmental TH, we examined the effects...
