Acute and long-term metabolic consequences of early developmental Bisphenol A exposure in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an estrogenic contaminant linked to metabolic disruption. Developmental BPA exposure is of particular concern, as organizational effects may irreversibly disrupt metabolism at later life-stages. While BPA exposures in adult fish elicit metabolic perturbations similar to effects described in rodents, the metabolic effects of developmental BPA exposure in juvenile fish remain largely unknown.

Tetracycline antibiotics as PI3K inhibitors in the Nrf2-mediated regulation of antioxidative stress in zebrafish larvae.

Scientific concern about veterinary antibiotics (VAs) residues in the aquatic environment has increased in recent years. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanism of antioxidative stress caused by VAs in fish. In this study, zebrafish larvae were exposed to two representatives of VAs, chlortetracycline (CTC) and oxytetracycline (OTC), for 48 h.
