Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are a class of environmentally prevalent compounds with little known information on their effect in vivo. In a recent study conducted using zebrafish as a model, 38 OPAHs were screened for toxicity. This investigation focuses on two of these OPAHs, 7,12-B[a]AQ and BEZO. Both 7,12-B[a]AQ...
Due to their unique physical, chemical, and magnetic properties, nanomaterials have great potential for industrial development. There is a pressing need to develop rapid whole animal-based testing assays to assess the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials. To meet this challenge the embryonic zebrafish model was employed to determine the toxicity...
