The Role of Serotonin (5-HT) in Regulating the Hypoxic Hyperventilatory Response of Larval Zebrafish
Serotonin (5-HT) containing neuroepithelial cells (NECs) are O2 sensitive chemoreceptors found throughout the skin of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio). Zebrafish larvae are sensitive to changes in ambient PO2 as early as 2 days post fertilisation (dpf) and hyperventilate in response to hypoxia beginni...
