  1. 1. Effects of early exposure to fluoxetine on behavioural development in zebrafish

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Moa Forssten; [2024]
    Keywords : Fluoxetine; zebrafish; development; behaviour;

    Abstract : Many pharmaceuticals are stable molecules and after human excretion they enter the wastewater facilities where roughly 60 % is removed. The remaining residues will affect the concentration in close by streams and at the effluent, where fish like to spawn. Therefore, the development and behaviour of aquatic life is potentially at risk. READ MORE

  3. 2. Assessment of zebrafish embryo toxicity of environmentally relevant antibiotics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Ophelia Mastrangeli; [2021]
    Keywords : zebrafish embryo; toxicity; antibiotics; FET; Fish embryo toxicity; Bioaccumulation; zebrafiskembryo; toxicitet; antibiotika; FET; Bioackumulering;

    Abstract : Antibiotics are essential drugs in modern medicine. After consumption antibiotics are excreted in unmetabolized form in the urine and reach our sewage treatment plants (STP). STP are not able to degrade all antibiotics leading to release of antibiotics into the aquatic environment. Aquatic animals are thus continuously exposed to antibiotics. READ MORE

  4. 3. Assessment of embryotoxicity of the antiandrogenic drugs flutamide and bicalutamide in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Josefin Holmlund; [2020]
    Keywords : Antiandrogens; Androgen receptor inhibitors; Bicalutamide; Flutamide; Ecotoxicology; Environmental toxicity; Embryonic toxicity; Embryotoxicity; Zebrafish;

    Abstract : Introduction: Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in Sweden and is often treated using antiandrogenic drug therapy. Two substances belonging to this class of pharmaceuticals are bicalutamide and flutamide. After excretion from the human body, the drug molecules enter the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).

  5. 4. Applying automatic operant boxes (“Skinner boxes”) for studies on behavioural flexibility in zebrafish (Danio rerio) 

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Winberg: Beteendeneuroendokrinologi

    Author : Saida Adan; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The most successful and widely used animal models in neuroscience are rats and mice, which has been vital for the understanding of the human brain. Another model that has become more prominent during recent years is the zebrafish (Danio rerio). READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a bacterial infection model in zebrafish embryos with special focus on colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Anna Tamara Leber; [2019]
    Keywords : Danio rerio; embryo model; microinjection; innate immunity; inflammation; Klebsiella pneumoniae; colistin-resistance; antimicrobial peptides; cross-resistance;

    Abstract : Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a promising model organism for immunological studies. A time window between the development of the innate and adaptive immune system makes it possible to investigate the mechanisms originating exclusively from the innate immune system. READ MORE
