1. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.

2. Toxicological analysis of Pyraclostrobin and Cyprodinilon Zebrafish larvae
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin are widely used pesticides to protect many plants from attack of microorganisms and fungal diseases. Although cyprodinil and pyraclostrobin exist in the aquatic environment at low concentration, their leftovers in the ecosystems lead to oxidative damage and interfere development in aquatic animals at environmental-relevant concentration.

3. Visualizing neuronal cell sub-populations using novel transgenic zebrafish lines.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Zebrafish is a frequently used model organism with an array of transgenic lines that have been used indevelopmental and physiological studies. We aim to generate novel transgenic zebrafish reporter lines to study subpopulations of spinal neurons in vivo. READ MORE

4. A zebrafish-based system to study the impact of environmental factors in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder that affects millions of peopleworldwide. Although the etiology behind the disease is yet unknown, current theoriespropose a complex interplay between genetic susceptibility, exposure to environmentalfactors and exacerbated immune responses.

5. Coumarin 47 and permethrin effects on zebrafish embryos: : FET tests and behavioural challenges
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : An environment is defined as polluted when contaminants are introduced within it and causeadverse effects to its ecosystem. Chemical pollutants can migrate and often affect severalenvironmental compartments: for instance, chemicals can leach from polluted soil intogroundwater, or they can evaporate and disperse into the atmosphere.
