Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Exposure to Human-Relevant Mixtures of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in Zebrafish

Fish models used for chemical exposure in toxicological studies are normally kept in barren tanks without any structural environmental enrichment.Here, we tested the combined effects of environmental enrichment and exposure to two mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in zebrafish.Firstly, we assessed whether Wall Hook developmental exp
