Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how medaka (Oryzias latipes) eggs respond to cadmium (Cd(2+)) exposure during different developmental stages using in vitro fertilization methods.
- Early exposure to cadmium, before fertilization and chorion hardening, resulted in lower hatching success and more embryo malformations compared to later exposure during embryonic development.
- Findings indicate that early-stage eggs absorb more cadmium, suggesting that their protective layer (zona radiata) may be more permeable, and future research will focus on realistic exposure conditions and advanced methods to track cadmium transfer.
