Article Synopsis
- Environmental contaminants like pesticides, particularly glyphosate, may contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders in vulnerable developing brains.
- A systematic review examines the effects of maternal exposure to glyphosate on rodent offspring, focusing on behavioral, biochemical, and genetic changes linked to perinatal exposure.
- The findings demonstrate that glyphosate disrupts key neurological processes, indicating a significant need for improved risk assessment methods to develop effective prevention and intervention strategies against environmental neurotoxins.
Cutaneous melanoma (CM) poses a therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive nature and often limited response to conventional treatments. Exploring novel therapeutic targets is essential, and natural compounds have emerged as potential candidates. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of curcumin, a natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties, on metastatic melanoma cells, focusing on the purinergic system and immune responses.

We assessed the mental health, oxidative, and inflammatory profiles of farmers exposed to pesticides (N = 28) and compared them to an urban control group without occupational exposure to pesticides (N = 25). Data on sociodemographic, occupational history, and clinical records were collected.

- Concerns about glyphosate, a common herbicide, and its potential health risks are investigated through a study on rats.
- Pregnant rats exposed to glyphosate were found to have offspring with significantly reduced serum melatonin levels and oxidative stress-related changes in the brain's striatum.
- The study highlights a possible link between glyphosate exposure, decreased melatonin secretion, and an increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing the need to address the effects of environmental contaminants on hormonal systems.
