Transgenerational Toxicity of Modified Mycotoxins: A Zebrafish Model Approach

This project investigates the toxicological effects of modified mycotoxins through dietary exposure in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Customized diets supplemented with selected modified mycotoxins are formulated and administered to adult zebrafish to evaluate potential developmental, behavioral, and molecular alterations. One of the key goals of this project is to assess whether the adverse effects of modified mycotoxins can be transmitted to the next generation. To achieve this, fertilized eggs are collected from exposed adults and examined for transgenerational impacts. The findings are expected to provide critical insights into the long-term risks of modified mycotoxins and contribute to safer food regulation policies.
