Combined effects of alpha particles and depleted uranium on Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos
The combined effects of low-dose or high-dose alpha particles and depleted uranium (DU) in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were studied. Three schemes were examined-(i) [ILUL]: 0.44 mGy alpha-particle dose + 10 µg/l DU exposure, (ii) [IHUH]: 4.4 mGy alpha-particle dose + 100 µg/l DU exposure and (iii) [IHUL]: 4.4 mGy alpha-particle dose + 10 µg/l DU exposure-in which Zebrafish embryos were irra...
متن کاملEffects of alpha particles on zebrafish embryos.
Dechorionated zebrafish embryos were irradiated at 1.5 h post fertilization (hpf) to low-doses of alpha particles, viz., 1.4, 2.8, 5.6, 11.2 mGy (determined using Monte Carlo simulations). At 24 hpf, these embryos were then examined for apoptotic cells through acridine orange staining. The mean number of apoptotic cells was found to decrease significantly from controls to 1.4-mGy irradiation, a...
متن کاملCombined effects of depleted uranium and ionising radiation on zebrafish embryos.
In the environment, living organisms are exposed to a mixture of stressors, and the combined effects are deemed as multiple stressor effects. In the present work, the authors studied the multiple stressor effect in embryos of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) from simultaneous exposure to alpha particles and depleted uranium (DU) through quantification of apoptotic signals at 24 h post-fertilisation ...
متن کاملDevelopmental toxicity of nonylphenol in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos
Present study reports the response of zebrafish embryos exposed in vivo to graded concentrations of Nonylphenol (NP), ranging from high lethal levels to lower, more environmentally relevant levels. Embryos treated with NP showing developmental abnormalities and morphological alterations in a dose-dependent pattern. Results suggest that early exposure to NP can cause direct and delayed mortaliti...
متن کاملEstrogenic and toxic effects of methoxychlor on zebrafish (Danio rerio).
Although zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been suggested as a good candidate for screening potential endocrine disruptors, little information is available on the effects of weak estrogens on this species. We investigated the sensitivity of different life stages of zebrafish toward toxic and estrogenic properties of methoxychlor (MXC). Short-term tests with adults resulted in a sex-specific 96-h let...
