Menthol-induced sedation and hemodynamic safety limits in Nile tilapia: defining a therapeutic window
-mediated mechanisms in menthol sedation. These findings establish the physiological safety limits for menthol use in Nile tilapia and highlight its ecotoxicological significance, as excessive or environmental exposure may impair cardiac homeostasis in aquatic organisms. The results contribute to defining safe anesthetic practices and to understanding the toxicodynamic implications of natural sedatives in aquatic ecosystems.
