[ 4 ] - Investigation of Toxicological Effects of di-2-ethylhexyl with Fish Embryo Test (FET) in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer in a variety of consumer products. Given the adverse toxicity effects of DEHP on living organisms, its high consumption and dispersal has been caused a serious concern. . Nowedays, the Fish Embryo Test (FET) method is widely used among the conventional methods of toxicology .The aim of the this study was to determine the acute toxicity of Di(2-e...

[ 5 ] - Effect of Cadmium Chloride on Maturity of Female Zebrafish (Danio rerio) using Vitellogenin Biomarker and Ovary Histopathology

This study aimed to investigatethe changes in Gonad Somatic Index (GSI), vitellogenin induction and ovarian histopathology in zebrafish (Danio rerio) adult female, as an ecological model in toxicology, after exposure to 0.002, 0.02, 0.2, 2 and 20 µg/L cadmium chloride for 21 days under sub-lethal condition. The results showed that 0.002 to 20 µg/L cadmium chloride had no significant effect on t...

[ 6 ] - Histopathological Changes of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Ovaries Exposed to Sub-lethal Concentrations of Methyl Paraben

Paraben compounds are used widely as preservatives to inhibit microbial growth and extend used in pharmaceuticals, hygienic, cosmetics, care products. They pose the potential for reproductive toxicity for users. This paper provides an overview of the applications of histopathological biomarkers in reproductive toxicity in zebrafish caused by methylparaben. The present study investigated the cha...

[ 7 ] - Ecological and health risk assessment of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates in Doroodzan Dam (Fars)

Background and Objective: Nowadays linear alkyl benzene sulfanate (LAS) is widely used in the production of various detergents. The purpose of this study was to assess the health and ecological hazards of this pollutant on target organisms such as fish and daphnia in the Doroodzan Dam water.
