Low concentrations of imidacloprid exposure induced gut toxicity in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid (IMI) is widely used in agriculture, and its repeated application may result in environmental pollution. Recently, the toxicity of IMI to non-target animals has received increasing attention. In the current study, adult zebrafish were exposed to low concentrations of IMI (100 and 1000 μg/L) for 21 days. The results showed that IMI exposure induced intestinal histological injury and oxidative stress in the...
