Exploring the effects of eugenol, menthol, and lidocaine as anesthetics on zebrafish glucose homeostasis

This study, therefore, concludes that eugenol and menthol are safe and satisfactory anesthetics for use in zebrafish research involving glucose analyses, while lidocaine use can cause biases due to altered glucose levels and safety concerns. Researchers should, therefore, carefully consider anesthetic selection to ensure reliable results in zebrafish assessments.PMID:37935341 | DOI:10.1016/j.cbpc.2023.109784
