Procymidone induces muscle atrophy and impaired myocyte fusion via the TNF-α/NF-κB/ROS pathway in developing zebrafish embryos

Key Points

• Muscle atrophy occurs in developing zebrafish embryos exposed to procymidone, affecting growth and development.
• Key evidence shows significant muscle loss linked to the TNF-α/NF-κB/ROS pathway.
• Analysis of zebrafish embryos explores the effects of procymidone on muscle development and cell fusion.
• Findings highlight potential risks of chemical exposure during crucial developmental stages, calling for further research.
