Pyriproxyfen influences growth as well as thyroid hormone–related and gh/ igf-1 gene expression during the early life stage of zebrafish (danio rerio)
Pyriproxyfen is an agricultural chemical pesticide that has been detected in the aquatic environment. This study aimed to clarify the effects of pyriproxyfen on the growth as well as thyroid hormone– and growth-related gene expression of zebrafish (Danio rerio) during its early life stage.

Pyriproxyfen is an agricultural chemical pesticide that has been detected in the aquatic environment.
