Toxicological impacts of glyphosate on the liver, intestine and Kidney: A mini review

Abstract

Glyphosate is a widely used broad-spectrum herbicide that has become an integral part of modern agricultural practices. This review examines its origins, chemical properties, uses, and its significant impacts on health and the environment. Parameters such as biochemical parameters and histopathological changes are explored to establish their significance in ecotoxicological assessments. This comprehensive analysis highlights the molecular mechanisms behind its effects, especially nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal toxicity which emphasizes the complexity of its environmental and physiological interactions. The aim of this review is to underscore the importance of fish in aquatic toxicology, advocating for improved monitoring strategies for glyphosate exposure and sustainable environmental management.
