Effects of glyphosate herbicide ingestion on kidney function in rats on a balanced diet

CONCLUSION: This study showed changes in the kidney of rats exposed to a balanced diet with glyphosate, suggesting a potential risk to human kidney. Presumably, ultra-processed food that contain glyphosate can potentiate this risk. The relevance of these results lies in drawing attention to the need to regulate glyphosate concentration in ultra-processed foods in the future.PMID:38039493 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2023-0043en
