Article Synopsis
- Glyphosate, a widely-used herbicide, is utilized in agriculture and environments like sugar cane fields in Florida, but its runoff poses threats to aquatic wildlife and has been linked to health issues such as kidney and liver damage in animal studies.
- In a study, adult male largemouth bass were exposed to different concentrations of glyphosate and Rodeo® for 21 days, leading to significant reductions in steroid hormones, including androgens and estrone.
- RNA sequencing revealed that glyphosate exposure altered gene expression related to hormone biosynthesis and immune processes, indicating potential endocrine disruption and impacting T-cell activation in the bass.
A standardized echocardiographic technique was recently established for the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris). There are no available published data on normal echocardiographic parameters in any Sirenian species. The purpose of this study was to report reference parameters for various echocardiographic measurements.
