Abstract
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a pivotal model organism in vertebrate development research over several decades. Beyond its contributions to developmental biology, zebrafish have increasingly played a crucial role in the field of lipidomics. Lipidomics, a comprehensive analysis of lipids within biological systems, offers profound insights into lipid metabolism and signaling pathways. This chapter explores the zebrafish's unique attributes that make it an ideal candidate for lipidomics studies. With a genome sharing numerous genetic similarities with humans, zebrafish serve as a powerful model for dissecting lipid metabolism and unraveling the complexities of lipid mediator-related diseases. In this chapter, we delve into specific protocols tailored for utilizing zebrafish in lipidomics research and similar investigations. Through a comprehensive exploration of zebrafish as a model organism, this chapter aims to provide researchers with valuable insights and methodologies for advancing lipidomics studies using zebrafish.
