An acute exposure to glyphosate-based herbicide alters aromatase levels in testis and sperm nuclear quality
Publish Date: 2014-07
Author/Source: Estelle Cassault-Meyera, Steeve Gressa, Gilles-Éric Séralinia, Isabelle Galeraud-Denisa
Description: We investigated the effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide after an 8-day exposure of adult rats. We have shown a significant and differential expression of aromatase in testis. We have observed a diminution of mRNA expression of nuclear markers in spermatozoa. These results suggest changes in androgen/estrogen balance and in sperm nuclear quality. The repetition of exposures of this herbicide could alter the mammalian reproduction.
