Microcystin-LR induces fatty liver metabolic disease in zebrafish through the PPARα-NOD1 pathway: In vivo, in vitro, and in silico investigations.

Hepatic lipid metabolism dysfunction caused by cyanobacteria bloom-released microcystin-LR (MC-LR) contributes to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), thereby severely impacting the health and safety of animals and humans. In this study, the effects and mechanisms of different environmental concentrations of MC-LR (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/L) on fatty liver metabolic disease in zebrafish were investigated using in vivo, in vitro, and in silico models.

Nitrite induces hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in zebrafish through mitochondrial dysfunction and ERs response.

Nitrite, a highly toxic environmental contaminant, induces various physiological toxicities in aquatic animals. Herein, we investigate the in vivo effects of nitrite exposure at concentrations of 0, 0.2, 2, and 20 mg/L on glucose and lipid metabolism in zebrafish.

New insights into endocrine reproductive toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa combined with ammonia exposure in zebrafish.

The ecological risk posed by MCs-producing M. aeruginosa and elevated ammonia to fish in actual aquatic environments remains uncertain. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted simulations to investigate the endocrine-reproductive toxicity of prolonged exposure (45 d) to Microcystis aeruginosa (2 × 10^ cells/mL) and 30 mg/L total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in zebrafish under environmentally relevant conditions.

Multi-omics analysis reveals the toxic mechanism of ammonia-enhanced Microcystis aeruginosa exposure causing liver fat deposition and muscle nutrient loss in zebrafish.

Microcystis aeruginosa and ammonia pollution are two important environmental stress factors in water eutrophication. Herein, we simulated environmental conditions to investigate the effects of chronic exposure (single and combined) to M. aeruginosa and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) on lipid metabolism and muscle quality in zebrafish.

Cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim-induced oxidative stress and transcriptome changes in the muscle of crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

Cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim are commonly used herbicides in rice-crayfish co-culture fields. In actual production, weed control in paddy fields is inseparable from cyhalofop-butyl and pyribenzoxim, while its risk to P. clarkii is still unclear.

Bioaccumulation, metabolism and endocrine-reproductive effects of metolachlor and its S-enantiomer in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio).

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the enantioselective bioaccumulation, metabolism, and toxic effects of metolachlor and S-metolachlor in zebrafish. Five-month-old zebrafish were exposed to metolachlor and S-metolachlor for 28 days, then transferred to clean water and purified for 7 days. In the uptake phase, S-metolachlor was preferentially accumulated at low concentrations, while metolachlor was preferentially accumulated at high concentrations.
