Pubertal glyphosate-based herbicide exposure aggravates high-fat diet-induced obesity in female mice.

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used pesticides globally. Studies have indicated that they may increase the risk of various organic dysfunctions. Herein, we verified whether exposure to GBH during puberty increases the susceptibility of male and female mice to obesity when they are fed a high-fat diet (HFD) in adulthood.
