Assessment of Toxicological Perturbations and Variants of Pancreatic Islet Development in the Zebrafish Model

Assessment of Toxicological Perturbations and Variants of Pancreatic Islet Development in the Zebrafish Model

The pancreatic islets, largely comprised of insulin-producing beta cells, play a critical role in endocrine signaling and glucose homeostasis. Because they have low levels of antioxidant defenses and a high perfusion rate, the endocrine islets may be a highly susceptible target tissue of chemical ex...
