Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the stingray species Himantura imbricata and investigates the toxicity of its venom using zebrafish as a model organism.
  • Juvenile zebrafish were injected with various concentrations of stingray venom, leading to significant tissue damage in organs like the liver and kidneys, as well as noticeable blood abnormalities.
  • The findings suggest that zebrafish are a promising biomarker for studying the effects of H. imbricata venom, offering potential for future pharmacological research and drug development.
