Advances in Flexible Magnetosensitive Materials and Devices for Wearable Electronics.

Emerging fields, such as wearable electronics, digital healthcare, the Internet of Things, and humanoid robots, highlight the need for flexible devices capable of recording signals on curved surfaces and soft objects. In particular, flexible magnetosensitive devices garner significant attention owing to their ability to combine the advantages of flexible electronics and magnetoelectronic devices, such as reshaping capability, conformability, contactless sensing, and navigation capability. Several key challenges must be addressed to develop well-functional flexible magnetic devices. These include determining how to make magnetic materials flexible and even elastic, understanding how the physical properties of magnetic films change under external strain and stress, and designing and constructing flexible magnetosensitive devices. In recent years, significant progress is made in addressing these challenges. This study aims to provide a timely and comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in flexible magnetosensitive devices. This includes discussions on the fabrications and mechanical regulations of flexible magnetic materials, the principles and performances of flexible magnetic sensors, and their applications for wearable electronics. In addition, future development trends and challenges in this field are discussed.

Recent Progress in Wearable Near-Sensor and In-Sensor Intelligent Perception Systems.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes more widespread, wearable smart systems will begin to be used in a variety of applications in people's daily lives, not only requiring the devices to have excellent flexibility and biocompatibility, but also taking into account redundant data and communication delays due to the use of a large number of sensors. Fortunately, the emerging paradigms of near-sensor and in-sensor computing, together with the proposal of flexible neuromorphic devices, provides a viable solution for the application of intelligent low-power wearable devices. Therefore, wearable smart systems based on new computing paradigms are of great research value. This review discusses the research status of a flexible five-sense sensing system based on near-sensor and in-sensor architectures, considering material design, structural design and circuit design. Furthermore, we summarize challenging problems that need to be solved and provide an outlook on the potential applications of intelligent wearable devices.

Highly Sensitive Pressure Sensor Based on Elastic Conductive Microspheres.

Elastic pressure sensors play a crucial role in the digital economy, such as in health care systems and human-machine interfacing. However, the low sensitivity of these sensors restricts their further development and wider application prospects. This issue can be resolved by introducing microstructures in flexible pressure-sensitive materials as a common method to improve their sensitivity. However, complex processes limit such strategies. Herein, a cost-effective and simple process was developed for manufacturing surface microstructures of flexible pressure-sensitive films. The strategy involved the combination of MXene-single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) with mass-produced Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microspheres to form advanced microstructures. Next, the conductive silica gel films with pitted microstructures were obtained through a 3D-printed mold as flexible electrodes, and assembled into flexible resistive pressure sensors. The sensor exhibited a sensitivity reaching 2.6 kPa-1 with a short response time of 56 ms and a detection limit of 5.1 Pa. The sensor also displayed good cyclic stability and time stability, offering promising features for human health monitoring applications.

Size Dependent Phase Transformation of Liquid Gallium.

As the most popular liquid metal (LM), gallium (Ga) and its alloys are emerging as functional materials due to their unique combination of fluidic and metallic properties near room temperature. As an important branch of utilizing LMs, micro- and submicron-particles of Ga-based LM are widely employed in wearable electronics, catalysis, energy, and biomedicine. Meanwhile, the phase transition is crucial not only for the applications based on this reversible transformation process, but also for the solidification temperature at which fluid properties are lost. While Ga has several solid phases and exhibits unusual size-dependent phase behavior. This complex process makes the phase transition and undercooling of Ga uncontrollable, which considerably affects the application performance. In this work, extensive (nano-)calorimetry experiments are performed to investigate the polymorph selection mechanism during liquid Ga crystallization. It is surprisingly found that the crystallization temperature and crystallization pathway to either α -Ga or ß -Ga can be effectively engineered by thermal treatment and droplet size. The polymorph selection process is suggested to be highly relevant to the capability of forming covalent bonds in the equilibrium supercooled liquid. The observation of two different crystallization pathways depending on the annealing temperature may indicate that there exist two different liquid phases in Ga.

Wearable Magnetic Field Sensor with Low Detection Limit and Wide Operation Range for Electronic Skin Applications.

Flexible electronic devices extended abilities of humans to perceive their environment conveniently and comfortably. Among them, flexible magnetic field sensors are crucial to detect changes in the external magnetic field. State-of-the-art flexible magnetoelectronics do not exhibit low detection limit and large working range simultaneously, which limits their application potential. Herein, a flexible magnetic field sensor possessing a low detection limit of 22 nT and wide sensing range from 22 nT up to 400 mT is reported. With the detection range of seven orders of magnitude in magnetic field sensor constitutes at least one order of magnitude improvement over current flexible magnetic field sensor technologies. The sensor is designed as a cantilever beam structure accommodating a flexible permanent magnetic composite and an amorphous magnetic wire enabling sensitivity to low magnetic fields. To detect high fields, the anisotropy of the giant magnetoimpedance effect of amorphous magnetic wires to the magnetic field direction is explored. Benefiting from mechanical flexibility of sensor and its broad detection range, its application potential for smart wearables targeting geomagnetic navigation, touchless interactivity, rehabilitation appliances, and safety interfaces providing warnings of exposure to high magnetic fields are explored.

Structural Design and DLP 3D Printing Preparation of High Strain Stable Flexible Pressure Sensors.

Flexible pressure sensors are crucial force-sensitive devices in wearable electronics, robotics, and other fields due to their stretchability, high sensitivity, and easy integration. However, a limitation of existing pressure sensors is their reduced sensing accuracy when subjected to stretching. This study addresses this issue by adopting finite element simulation optimization, using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology to design and fabricate the force-sensitive structure of flexible pressure sensors. This is the first systematic study of how force-sensitive structures enhance tensile strain stability of flexible resistive pressure sensors. 18 types of force-sensitive structures have been investigated by finite element design, simultaneously, the modulus of the force-sensitive structure is also a critical consideration as it exerts a significant influence on the overall tensile stability of the sensor. Based on simulation results, a well-designed and highly stretch-stable flexible resistive pressure sensor has been fabricated which exhibits a resistance change rate of 0.76% and pressure sensitivity change rate of 0.22% when subjected to strains ranging from no tensile strain to 20% tensile strain, demonstrating extremely low stretching response characteristics. This study presents innovative solutions for designing and fabricating flexible resistive pressure sensors that maintain stable sensing performance even under stretch conditions.

Developmental toxicity, immunotoxicity and cardiotoxicity induced by methidathion in early life stages of zebrafish.

Methidathion is a highly effective organophosphorus pesticide and is extensively utilized for the control of insects in agricultural production. However, there is little information on the adverse effects and underlying mechanisms of methidathion on aquatic organisms. In this work, embryonic zebrafish were exposed to methidathion at concentrations of 4, 10, and 25 mg/L for 96 h, and morphological changes and activities of antioxidant indicators alterations were detected. In addition, the locomotor behavioral abilities of zebrafish exposed to methidathion were also measured. To further explore the mechanism of the toxic effects of methidathion, gene expression levels associated with cardiac development, cell apoptosis, and the immune system were tested through qPCR assays. The findings revealed that methidathion exposure could induce a decrease in survival rate, hatchability, length of body, and increase in abnormality of zebrafish, as well as cardiac developmental toxicity. The LC50 value of methidathion in zebrafish embryos was determined to be about 30.72 mg/L at 96 hpf. Additionally, methidathion exposure triggered oxidative stress in zebrafish by increasing SOD activity, ROS, and MDA content. Acridine orange (AO) staining indicated that methidathion exposure led to apoptosis, which was mainly distributed in the pericardial region. Furthermore, significant impairments of locomotor activity in zebrafish larvae were induced by methidathion exposure. Lastly, the expression of pro-inflammatory factors including IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-8, CXCL-clc, TLR4, and MYD88 significantly up-regulated in exposed zebrafish. Taken together, the results in this work illustrated that methidathion caused developmental toxicity, cardiotoxicity, and immunotoxicity in embryogenetic zebrafish.

Hyoscyamine induces developmental toxicity by disrupting metabolism in zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio).

Hyoscyamine is a kind of tropane alkaloids, which exists in several plants of the family Solanaceae. However, the mechanism underlying such hyoscyamine toxic effects during early development remains unclear. In this study, an untargeted metabolomics approach was used to investigate the toxic mechanisms of hyoscyamine in zebrafish embryos. The LC10 and MNLC of hyoscyamine in zebrafish embryos were determined to be 350 and 313 µg/mL, respectively. Moreover, hyoscyamine exposure increased the accumulation of ROS and MDA, and altered the activity of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD, and GSH) in zebrafish embryos. After exposure, the embryos were extracted, derivatized and analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS for 3551 metabolites to identify 38 significantly changed metabolites based on the VIP, p value, and fold change results. Metabolic pathways associated with those metabolites were identified using MetaboAnalyst 5.0 as follows: pyrimidine metabolism, purine metabolism, histidine metabolism, beta-Alanine metabolism, and glutathione metabolism. These results suggested that hyoscyamine exposure to zebrafish embryos exhibited marked metabolic disturbance. Such significant perturbations of important metabolites within crucial biochemical pathways may have biologically hazardous effects on zebrafish embryos induced by hyoscyamine.

Highly Stable Liquid Metal Conductors with Superior Electrical Stability and Tough Interface Bonding for Stretchable Electronics.

Ga-based liquid metal stretchable conductors have recently gained interest in flexible electronic devices such as electrodes, antennas, and sensors. It is essential to maintain electrical stability under strain or cyclic strain for reliable data acquisition and exhibit tough interfacial bonding between liquid metal and polymers to prevent performance loss and device failure. Herein, a highly stable conductor with superior electrical stability and tough interface bonding is introduced by casting curable polymers and a peeling-activated process from liquid metal particles. Based on the compensating effect of liquid metal, similar to the recharge relationship of water between rivers and lakes in nature, the conductor is not only strain-insensitive (ΔR/R0 < 10% for 100% strain) but also immune to cyclic deformation (ΔR/R0 < 7% with 5000 stretching cycles at 50% strain). Embedding liquid metal within the elastomer to create stretchable conductors effectively improves interfacial adhesion properties (the fluid-solid interfacial adhesion force increases from 0.48 to 0.62 mN/mm2). The constructed tough interface could even withstand sonication treatment. Finally, by combining strategies in material design and fabrication, an integrated array composed of vertical interconnect access and robust electrodes is fabricated, which simultaneously holds tough interfacial bonding with the upper and lower layers.

A Sensitivity-Optimized Flexible Capacitive Pressure Sensor with Cylindrical Ladder Microstructural Dielectric Layers.

Flexible capacitive pressure sensors have attracted extensive attention due to their dynamic response and good sensing capability for static and small pressures. Using microstructural dielectric layers is an effective method for improving performance. However, the current state of microstructure design is primarily focused on basic shapes and is largely limited by simulation results; there is still a great deal of potential for further innovation and improvement. This paper innovatively proposes to increase the ladder structure based on the basic microstructures, for example, the long micro-ridge ladder, the cuboid ladder, and cylindrical ladder microstructures. By comparing 9 kinds of microstructures including ladder structure through finite element simulation, it is found that the sensor with a cylindrical ladder microstructure dielectric layer has the highest sensitivity. The dielectric layers with various microstructures are obtained by 3D printed molds, and the sensor with cylindrical ladder microstructure dielectric layer has the sensitivity of 0.12 kPa-1, which is about 3.9 times higher than that without microstructure. The flexible pressure sensor developed by us boasts sensitivity-optimized and operational stability, making it an ideal solution for monitoring rainfall frequency in real time.

Molecular, morphological and behavioral alterations of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos/larvae after clorprenaline hydrochloride exposure.

Chlorprenaline hydrochloride (CLOR) is a typical representative of ß-adrenergic agonists that may be used illegally as a livestock feed additive and may have adverse impacts on the environment. In the present study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to CLOR to investigate its developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity. The results demonstrated that CLOR exposure led to adverse effects on developing zebrafish, such as morphological changes, a high heart rate, and increased body length, resulting in developmental toxicity. Moreover, the up-regulation of activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and the enhancement of malondialdehyde (MDA) content illustrated that CLOR exposure activated oxidative stress in exposed zebrafish embryos. Meanwhile, CLOR exposure also caused alterations in locomotive behavior in zebrafish embryos, including an increase in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) results showed that the transcription of genes related to the central nervous system (CNS) development, namely, mbp, syn2a, α1-tubulin, gap43, shha, and elavl3, indicated that CLOR exposure could lead to neurotoxicity in zebrafish embryos. These results showed that CLOR exposure could cause developmental neurotoxicity in the early stages of zebrafish development and that CLOR might induce neurotoxicity by altering the expression of neuro-developmental genes, elevating AChE activity, and activating oxidative stress.

Controllable preparation of mesoporous spike gold nanocrystals for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy detection of micro/nanoplastics in water.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging classes of environmental contaminants that pose significant threats to human health. In particular, small nanoplastics (<1 µm) have drawn considerable attention owing to their adverse effects on human health; for example, nanoplastics have been found in the placenta and blood. However, reliable detection techniques are lacking. In this study, we developed a fast detection method that combines membrane filtration technology and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), which can simultaneously enrich and detect nanoplastics with sizes as small as 20 nm. First, we synthesized spiked gold nanocrystals (Au NCs), achieving a controlled preparation of thorns ranging from 25 nm to 200 nm and regulating the number of thorns. Subsequently, mesoporous spiked Au NCs were homogeneously deposited on a glass fiber filter membrane to form an Au film as a SERS sensor. The Au-film SERS sensor achieved in-situ enrichment and sensitive SERS detection of micro/nanoplastics in water. Additionally, it eliminated sample transfer and prevented the loss of small nanoplastics. Using the Au-film SERS sensor, we detected 20 nm to 10 µm standard polystyrene (PS) microspheres with a detection limit of 0.1 mg/L. We also realized the detection of 100 nm PS nanoplastics at the 0.1 mg/L level in tap water and rainwater. This sensor provides a potential tool for rapid and susceptible on-site detection of micro/nanoplastics, especially small-sized nanoplastics.

Design and 3D Printing of Stretchable Conductor with High Dynamic Stability.

As an indispensable part of wearable devices and mechanical arms, stretchable conductors have received extensive attention in recent years. The design of a high-dynamic-stability, stretchable conductor is the key technology to ensure the normal transmission of electrical signals and electrical energy of wearable devices under large mechanical deformation, which has always been an important research topic domestically and abroad. In this paper, a stretchable conductor with a linear bunch structure is designed and prepared by combining numerical modeling and simulation with 3D printing technology. The stretchable conductor consists of a 3D-printed bunch-structured equiwall elastic insulating resin tube and internally filled free-deformable liquid metal. This conductor has a very high conductivity exceeding 104 S cm-1, good stretchability with an elongation at break exceeding 50%, and great tensile stability, with a relative change in resistance of only about 1% at 50% tensile strain. Finally, this paper demonstrates it as a headphone cable (transmitting electrical signals) and a mobile phone charging wire (transmitting electrical energy), which proves its good mechanical and electrical properties and shows good application potential.

High fried food consumption impacts anxiety and depression due to lipid metabolism disturbance and neuroinflammation.

Western dietary patterns have been unfavorably linked with mental health. However, the long-term effects of habitual fried food consumption on anxiety and depression and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our population-based study with 140,728 people revealed that frequent fried food consumption, especially fried potato consumption, is strongly associated with 12% and 7% higher risk of anxiety and depression, respectively. The associations were more pronounced among male and younger consumers. Consistently, long-term exposure to acrylamide, a representative food processing contaminant in fried products, exacerbates scototaxis and thigmotaxis, and further impairs exploration ability and sociality of adult zebrafish, showing anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors. Moreover, treatment with acrylamide significantly down-regulates the gene expression of tjp2a related to the permeability of blood-brain barrier. Multiomics analysis showed that chronic exposure to acrylamide induces cerebral lipid metabolism disturbance and neuroinflammation. PPAR signaling pathway mediates acrylamide-induced lipid metabolism disorder in the brain of zebrafish. Especially, chronic exposure to acrylamide dysregulates sphingolipid and phospholipid metabolism, which plays important roles in the development of anxiety and depression symptoms. In addition, acrylamide promotes lipid peroxidation and oxidation stress, which participate in cerebral neuroinflammation. Acrylamide dramatically increases the markers of lipid peroxidation, including (±)5-HETE, 11(S)-HETE, 5-oxoETE, and up-regulates the expression of proinflammatory lipid mediators such as (±)12-HETE and 14(S)-HDHA, indicating elevated cerebral inflammatory status after chronic exposure to acrylamide. Together, these results both epidemiologically and mechanistically provide strong evidence to unravel the mechanism of acrylamide-triggered anxiety and depression, and highlight the significance of reducing fried food consumption for mental health.

Toxic effects of isofenphos-methyl on zebrafish embryonic development.

Isofenphos-methyl (IFP) is widely used as an organophosphorus for controlling underground insects and nematodes. However, excessive use of IFP may pose potential risks to the environment and humans, but little information is available on its sublethal toxicity to aquatic organisms. To address this knowledge gap, the current study exposed zebrafish embryos to 2, 4, and 8 mg/L IFP within 6-96 h past fertilization (hpf) and measured mortality, hatching, developmental abnormalities, oxidative stress, gene expressions, and locomotor activity. The results showed that IFP exposure reduced the rates of heart and survival rate, hatchability, and body length of embryos and induced uninflated swim bladder and developmental malformations. Reduction in locomotive behavior and inhibition of AChE activity indicated that IFP exposure may induce behavioral defects and neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. IFP exposure also led to pericardial edema, longer venous sinus-arterial bulb (SV-BA) distance, and apoptosis of the heart cells. Moreover, IFP exposure increased the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the content of malonaldehyde (MDA), also elevated the levels of antioxidant enzymes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), but decreased glutathione (GSH) levels in zebrafish embryos. The relative expressions of heart development-related genes (nkx2.5, nppa, gata4, and tbx2b), apoptosis-related genes (bcl2, p53, bax, and puma), and swim bladder development-related genes (foxA3, anxa5b, mnx1, and has2) were significantly altered by IFP exposure. Collectively, our results indicated that IFP induced developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity to zebrafish embryos and the mechanisms may be relevant to the activation of oxidative stress and reduction of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) content.

Controllable Preparation of Gold Nanocrystals with Different Porous Structures for SERS Sensing.

Porous Au nanocrystals (Au NCs) have been widely used in catalysis, sensing, and biomedicine due to their excellent localized surface plasma resonance effect and a large number of active sites exposed by three-dimensional internal channels. Here, we developed a ligand-induced one-step method for the controllable preparation of mesoporous, microporous, and hierarchical porous Au NCs with internal 3D connecting channels. At 25 °C, using glutathione (GTH) as both a ligand and reducing agent combined with the Au precursor to form GTH-Au(I), and under the action of the reducing agent ascorbic acid, the Au precursor is reduced in situ to form a dandelion-like microporous structure assembled by Au rods. When cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C16TAB) and GTH are used as ligands, mesoporous Au NCs formed. When increasing the reaction temperature to 80 °C, hierarchical porous Au NCs with both microporous and mesoporous structures will be synthesized. We systematically explored the effect of reaction parameters on porous Au NCs and proposed possible reaction mechanisms. Furthermore, we compared the SERS-enhancing effect of Au NCs with three different pore structures. With hierarchical porous Au NCs as the SERS base, the detection limit for rhodamine 6G (R6G) reached 10-10 M.

Methyl Parathion Exposure Induces Development Toxicity and Cardiotoxicity in Zebrafish Embryos.

Methyl parathion (MP) has been widely used as an organophosphorus pesticide for food preservation and pest management, resulting in its accumulation in the aquatic environment. However, the early developmental toxicity of MP to non-target species, especially aquatic vertebrates, has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, zebrafish embryos were treated with 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/L of MP solution until 72 h post-fertilization (hpf). The results showed that MP exposure reduced spontaneous movement, hatching, and survival rates of zebrafish embryos and induced developmental abnormalities such as shortened body length, yolk edema, and spinal curvature. Notably, MP was found to induce cardiac abnormalities, including pericardial edema and decreased heart rate. Exposure to MP resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, increased catalase (CAT) activity, elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and caused cardiac apoptosis in zebrafish embryos. Moreover, MP affected the transcription of cardiac development-related genes (vmhc, sox9b, nppa, tnnt2, bmp2b, bmp4) and apoptosis-related genes (p53, bax, bcl2). Astaxanthin could rescue MP-induced heart development defects by down-regulating oxidative stress. These findings suggest that MP induces cardiac developmental toxicity and provides additional evidence of MP toxicity to aquatic organisms.

Developmental toxicity induced by brodifacoum in zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages.

OBJECTIVES: The present study mainly focused on the assessment of developmental toxicity induced by exposure to brodifacoum (BDF) in zebrafish at early life stages. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Zebrafish embryos were exposed to 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg/L of BDF from 6 to 96 hr post-fertilization (hpf), and the toxic effects of BDF on early embryonic development were investigated in terms of morphological changes, oxidative stress, and alterations in heart development-related genes. RESULTS: The experimental results showed that BDF significantly decreased the heart rate, survival rate, body length, and spontaneous movements of zebrafish embryos at 0.8 mg/L, and the morphological developmental abnormalities were also observed at 96 hpf. In addition, exposure to BDF significantly increased oxidative stress levels in zebrafish embryos by increasing the enzymatic activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and decreased glutathione (GSH) levels. Furthermore, BDF treatment-induced alterations in the expression levels of the heart development-related genes (gata4, sox9b, tbx2b, and nppa). CONCLUSION: Results from this study indicated that exposure to BDF could lead to marked growth inhibition and significantly alter the activities of antioxidant enzymes in zebrafish embryos. Moreover, BDF exposure exhibited severe cardiotoxicity and significantly disrupted heart development-related genes. The results indicated that BDF could induce developmental and cardiac toxicity in zebrafish embryos.

Embryonic exposure to fentanyl induces behavioral changes and neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae.

The use of fentanyl during pregnancy, whether by prescription or illicit use, may result in high blood levels that pose an early risk to fetal development. However, little is known regarding the neurotoxicity that might arise from excessive fentanyl exposure in growing organisms, particularly drug-related withdrawal symptoms. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to fentanyl solutions (0.1, 1, and 5 mg/L) for 5 days post fertilization (dpf), followed by a 5-day recovery period, and then the larvae were evaluated for photomotor response, anxiety behavior, shoaling behavior, aggression, social preference, and sensitization behavior. Fentanyl solutions at 1 and 5 mg/L induced elevated anxiety, decreased social preference and aggressiveness, and behavioral sensitization in zebrafish larvae. The expression of genes revealed that embryonic exposure to fentanyl caused substantial alterations in neural activity (bdnf, c-fos) and neuronal development and plasticity (npas4a, egr1, btg2, ier2a, vgf). These results suggest that fentanyl exposure during embryonic development is neurotoxic, highlighting the importance of zebrafish as an aquatic species in research on the neurobehavioral effects of opioids in vertebrates.

Scopoletin Induced Metabolomic Profile Disturbances in Zebrafish Embryos.

Scopoletin, a typical example of a coumarin compound, exists in several Artemisia species and other plant genera. However, the systemic metabolic effects induced by scopoletin remain unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the metabolic profiles in scopoletin-exposed zebrafish embryos using UHPLC-Q-Obitrap-HRMS combined with multivariate analysis. Compared with the control group, 33 metabolites in scopoletin group were significantly upregulated, while 27 metabolites were significantly downregulated. Importantly, scopoletin exposure affected metabolites mainly involved in phosphonate and phosphinate metabolism, vitamin B6 metabolism, histidine metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and folate biosynthesis. These results suggested that scopoletin exposure to zebrafish embryos exhibited marked metabolic disturbance. This study provides a perspective of metabolic impacts and the underlying mechanism associated with scopoletin exposure.
