The importance of thyroid hormones (TH) for embryonic development has long been shown
in many vertebrates, but is not yet established in pre-hatch teleost models despite the
presence of TH, TH receptors and iodothyronine deiodinases. Lack of data about the
dynamics of TH metabolism in embryonic stages of fish does not allow to speculate about
the involvement and/or role of TH in fish embryonic development. We therefore set up an
experiment to examine the effect of 3, 5, 3′-triiodothyronine (T3) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) …
