Abstract
Bixafen (BIX), a widely used succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) in agricultural disease control, has garnered significant attention due to its known hazardous effects on aquatic organisms. In this study, we exposed zebrafish embryos to 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 μM BIX, to explore the impact of BIX on liver and pancreas. The results showed that BIX caused deformities and dysfunction in zebrafish embryos, including spinal curvature, pericardial edema, heart rate decrease, and hatching delay. Moreover, BIX significantly affected the development of the liver and pancreas in zebrafish and downregulated zebrafish fabp10a gene expression. Overall, this study presents strong evidence for BIX's potential toxicity to zebrafish liver and pancreas. The results may provide new insights into the evaluation of BIX'S impact on aquatic organisms.
期刊介绍：
Ecotoxicology is an international journal devoted to the publication of fundamental research on the effects of toxic chemicals on populations, communities and terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. It aims to elucidate mechanisms and processes whereby chemicals exert their effects on ecosystems and the impact caused at the population or community level. The journal is not biased with respect to taxon or biome, and papers that indicate possible new approaches to regulation and control of toxic chemicals and those aiding in formulating ways of conserving threatened species are particularly welcome. Studies on individuals should demonstrate linkage to population effects in clear and quantitative ways. Laboratory studies must show a clear linkage to specific field situations. The journal includes not only original research papers but technical notes and review articles, both invited and submitted. A strong, broadly based editorial board ensures as wide an international coverage as possible.
