Sodium fluoride will negatively affect the circulatory
systems, as well as the liver of a Zebra fish, possibly
leading to liver scarring and liver failure. [More]
Excessive fluoride in natural water ecosystem has the potential to detrimentally affect thyroid endocrine system, but little is known of such effects or underlying mechanisms in fish. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of fluoride on growth performance, thyroid histopathology, thyroid hormone levels, and gene expressions in the HPT axis in male Zebra fish (Danio rerio) –
