Potency matters: Impacts of embryonic exposure to nAChR agonists thiamethoxam and nicotine on hatching success, growth, and neurobehavior in larval zebrafish
1 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Thiamethoxam (TM) is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist. While designed to specifically target invertebrate nAChRs, recent studies have reported adverse effects of neonicotinoid exposure in early life-stage fish. This study examined the health and neurobehavioral impacts of chronic exposure to various concentrations of TM or nicotine (NIC) in early life...
