Influence of cardiotoxicity on visual function in developing zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to Deepwater Horizon crude oil
June 6, 2025
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic constituents of crude oil that can induce cardiac dysfunction and vision impairment in early life stage (ELS) fishes. However, it is currently unknown whether visual impairments are independent effects or if they result from underlying PAH cardiotoxicity. To better understand this mechanism, microinjection of microRNA 133b (miR133b) was used to impair cardiac development in ELS zebrafish (injected at
