Zebrafish as a Model to Screen the Potential of Fatty Acids in Reproduction.

Sperm quality is an important topic in general health, chemotherapy, and gamete preservation technology. Fatty acid (FA) composition of membranes, which is influenced by the diet, plays key roles in sperm biology and quality. Dietary supplementation with natural products can be used as a technique to screen potential agents to protect, modify, and recover sperm quality.

Morphometric characteristics and time to hatch as efficacious indicators for potential nanotoxicity assay in zebrafish.

Although the effects of nano-sized titania (nTiO ) on hatching events (change in hatching time and total hatching) in zebrafish have been reported, additional consequences of nTiO exposure (i.e., the effects of nTiO -induced changes in hatching events and morphometric parameters on embryo-larvae development and survivability) have not been reported.
