ABSTRACT :
Zebrafish is an important experimental model in biological research due to its small size, rapid reproduction rate, and embryo transparency in the early stages of development. Used extensively in genetic and development studies, it allows researchers to investigate human biological processes and diseases in an accessible and cost-effective context. With a sequenced genome and significant genetic similarities with humans, zebrafish facilitates research in areas such as neurobiology, pharmacology, gastroenterology, but also toxicology, making it a valuable model in biomedical research. Biochemical markers, such as digestive enzymes and other biochemical indicators, are analyzed to understand the dysfunctions and changes that occur within digestive disorders. The aim of the study is to analyze the biochemical markers and methodologies used in the investigation of digestive disorders in zebrafish.
