As the worldwide top-selling herbicide, glyphosate is ubiquitously distributed in the natural environment, and its influence on the ecological safety and human health has being increasingly concerned. In this study, mRNA expressions of GPX and three heat shock protein genes in freshwater planarian Dugesia japonica in response to glyphosate were determined, and two oxidative stress parameters were measured. The results suggested that GPX activity can be used as a more sensitive biomarker in contrast with GPX gene expression, and mRNA expressions of Hsp70, Hsp90 genes are more sensitive than Hsp40 for planarians in response to glyphosate stress. Besides, the deduced T-AOC as well as varied GPX activity and mRNA expression levels of Hsps also indicated that glyphosate exposure would inhibit antioxidation and induce oxidative stress in D. japonica, while specific antioxidant systems and stress proteins tried to protect cells by their own regulation. The results of this study will be helpful to elucidate the stress response mechanisms of freshwater planarians to herbicide glyphosate.

Transgenic soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merrill] currently covers approximately 80% of the global crop area for this species, with the majority of transgenic plants being glyphosate resistant (Roundup Ready, GR or RR). However, there is significant concern regarding the potential effects of GM crops and their byproducts on soil microbial communities.

Despite all debates about its safe use, glyphosate remains the most widely applied active ingredient in herbicide products, with renewed approval in the European Union until 2033. Non-target organisms are commonly exposed to glyphosate as a matter of its mode of application, with its broader environmental and biological impacts remaining under investigation. Glyphosate displays structural similarity to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), thereby competitively inhibiting the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), crucial for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids in plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea.

Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide in global agriculture, poses potential health risks due to environmental and dietary exposure. This study evaluated urinary concentrations of glyphosate and its metabolite, amino-methyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), among farmers and non-farmers in Morocco's Fez-Meknes region, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Glyphosate was detected in 57.

The use of pesticides has significantly increased and proliferated following the technological advancements established by the green revolution, aimed at boosting agricultural productivity. The extensive use of man-made chemicals as fertilizer and pesticides has consequently led to large-scale application, which has led to a number of environmental and human health problems. This study has helped to develop a laser-induced graphene (LIG) sensor for the detection of the most widely used herbicide in the world, glyphosate.

Background And Purpose: Glyphosate-based herbicides, extensively utilized worldwide, raise concerns regarding potential human risks due to the detection of glyphosate (GLY) in human body fluids. This study aims to address critical knowledge gaps regarding whether GLY undergoes metabolism in humans, particularly considering the limited information available on human metabolism.
Experimental Approach: The study investigated GLY and its metabolites in eight amenity horticultural workers using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) data analysis.
