Carbon Nanotubes Induce Metabolomic Profile Disturbances in Zebrafish: NMR-Based Metabolomics Platform.

ABSTRACT: The present study aims to investigate the metabolic effects of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) using ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy. However, there is no significant information available regarding the characterization of organic molecules, and metabolites with SWCNT exposure. Noninvasive biofluid methods have improved our understanding of SWCNT metabolism in zebrafish in recent years. Here, we used targeted metabolomics to quantify a set of metabolites within biological systems. SWCNT at various concentrations was given to zebrafish, and the metabolites were extracted using two immiscible solvent systems, methanol and chloroform. Metabolomics profiling was used in association with univariate and multivaria
