Introduction

Zebrafish Models for Experimental Pharmacology: A Handbook is an essential resource for researchers, pharmacologists, and students exploring the expanding role of Zebrafish in drug discovery and experimental pharmacology. The book presents a clear, practical guide to contemporary experimental designs, ethical considerations, animal care, and laboratory techniques specific to Zebrafish models.

Key features

  • - Comprehensive coverage of drug administration routes, blood collection, and anesthesia techniques in Zebrafish
  • - Detailed methodologies for a wide range of behavioral and pharmacological assays, including the Shoaling Test, Novel Diving Tank Test, T-Maze, Y-Maze, Light-Dark Chamber Test, and more
  • - Practical guidance on experimental preparation, solution formulation, and tissue handling for in vitro studies
  • - Examples and illustrated explanations to support practical implementation in laboratory settings

Designed to bridge the gap between foundational research and translational applications, this handbook is a valuable reference for postgraduate students, research scholars, and professionals working in academic, clinical, and industrial pharmacology settings.

Readership

Researchers, pharmacologists, and students of pharmacology and experimental biology.

Foreword

The Zebrafish has emerged as an indispensable model organism for advancing experimental pharmacology, offering unique insights into human disease and drug discovery. This handbook, Zebrafish Models for Experimental Pharmacology, aims to provide researchers, scientists, and pharmacologists with a comprehensive guide to utilizing Zebrafish in their experimental studies.

Covering the latest methodologies, experimental setups, and translational applications, the book delves into the versatility and biological relevance of Zebrafish for evaluating pharmacological agents and studying disease mechanisms. By compiling cutting-edge techniques and best practices, this handbook aspires to bridge the gap between foundational research and clinical application, empowering readers to harness the full potential of Zebrafish in innovative pharmacological research.

I have thoroughly reviewed the content and am pleased to forward this book, which I believe will be highly valuable to the scientific research community.
