Developmental effects and lipid disturbances of zebrafish embryos exposed to three newly recognized bisphenol A analogues.

Bisphenol G (BPG), bisphenol M (BPM) and bisphenol TMC (BPTMC), are newly recognized analogues of bisphenol A (BPA), which have been detected in multiple environmental media. However, the understanding of their negative impacts on environmental health is limited. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to BPA and the three analogues (0.

Bisphenol A Analogues Induce Neuroendocrine Disruption via Gut-Brain Regulation in Zebrafish.

There is epidemiological evidence in humans that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) is tied to abnormal neuroendocrine function with both behavioral and intestinal symptoms. However, the underlying mechanism of this effect, particularly the role of gut-brain regulation, is poorly understood. We exposed zebrafish embryos to a concentration series (including environmentally relevant levels) of BPA and its analogues.

Neural System Impairment and Involved Microglia-Neuron Regulation of Broflanilide in Zebrafish Larvae.

Broflanilide is widely used to control pests and has attracted attention due to its adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Our previous study showed that broflanilide has a negative impact on the central nervous system (CNS) at lethal dosages; however, its neural effects under practical situations and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. To elucidate how broflanilide affects the CNS, we exposed zebrafish larvae to broflanilide at 16.

The neurobehavioral impacts of typical antibiotics toward zebrafish larvae.

Due to the widely usage in livestock, aquaculture and clinics, antibiotic residues are existed in aqueous environments and their potential toxicity to aquatic organisms is concerning. Here, we used zebrafish as the model to investigate the neurotoxicity and involved mechanism of seven antibiotics that were frequently detected in surface waters. The results revealed that the short-term exposure to clarithromycin (CLA), chlortetracycline (CTC) and roxithromycin (ROX) induced behavioral effects, with effective concentration of 1 μg/L (CTC and ROX) and 100 μg/L (CLA, CTC and ROX) respectively.

Bisphenol analogues induced social defects and neural impairment in zebrafish.

There is evidence in humans that endocrine disrupting chemicals exposure, such as bisphenol A (BPA), is tied to social behavior impacts when evaluated in early life stage. However, the potential social impact of BPA alternatives and its association with central nervous system (CNS) is poorly understood. Here, we performed behavioral test for zebrafish that are continuously exposed to environmental relevant concentrations (5 and 500 ng/L) of BPA, BPF, and BPAF since embryonic stage.
