Article Synopsis
- Active ingredients in pesticides and chemicals can harm ecosystems, prompting European laws for chemical risk assessments and banning endocrine disruptors, substances that affect hormone systems.
- Traditional methods to identify thyroid hormone disruptors are expensive and require large numbers of amphibians, highlighting the need for alternative methods that adhere to the 3R principle (replacement, reduction, refinement).
- Our study identified specific biomarker genes in zebrafish embryos exposed to thyroid disruptors, indicating potential for more accurate risk assessments and development of safer chemicals in the future.
