Exposure to the Mycotoxin Zearalenone Impairs Embryonic Development in Zebrafish

Creator:: Sidebotham, Nicole A.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...
