The general biological relevance of the oxidative stress status in replicating some neuropsychiatric and digestive – related manifestations in zebrafish

Abstract

Considering the awareness regarding the oxidative stress status implication in most of the actual neuropsychiatric disorders and also the ever increasing importance of zebrafish studies in this context, in the present paper we were interested in the general biological relevance of the oxidative stress status in replicating some neuropsychiatric manifestations in zebrafish, by focusing on the autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Also considering the increased relevance of sleep-related studies in the neuropsychiatric pathology and the existence of some intriguing sleep studies in zebrafish, as well as the correlations between some digestive-related disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and the neuropsychiatric aspects, some of these correlations and the possibility of studying them on zebrafish are also discussed and speculated during this mini-review.
