Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shantanu Karandikar"
- Shantanu Karandikar's recent research focuses on the impact of thiourea, an agrochemical, on the developmental processes of zebrafish larvae, particularly in relation to swim bladder formation.
- The study demonstrates that exposure to thiourea during early development stages leads to significant developmental defects, implicating thyroid hormone disruption due to thiourea's inhibition of thyroid peroxidase activity.
- Findings highlight the potential for environmental toxicants like thiourea to affect metabolic rates and embryonic development in vertebrates, emphasizing the need for further investigation into environmental risks associated with agricultural chemicals.
