Popis: Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) is a natural toxin produced by cyanobacterial blooms that causes severe liver damage in fish. It is crucial to investigate if housekeeping genes are affected by MC-LR in zebrafish, to permit the adequate evaluation of gene expression by RT-qPCR. We evaluated the gene expression stability (M value) and regulation by chemical treatment (using E
