alternative
model for traditional in vivo developmental toxicological
screening due to their advantageous characteristics as their small size
and transparency. In this paper, we reviewed the applicability of the
zebrafish embryo model in some relevant areas to human t
oxicology
as developmental toxicity, cardiovascular toxicity and neurotoxicity
(behavioral assessment). Despite the promising results, further
optimization and testing of more substances as well as a harmonized
methodology is needed to streamline the metho
