Assessment of the oxidative and neurotoxic effects of glyphosate pesticide on the larvae of Rhamdia quelen fish
Abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of glyphosate on the antioxidant system, as well as the neurotoxic effects on the larvae of Rhamdia quelen. A completely randomized design was implemented with the eggs of silver catfish distributed in 48 containers with 300 mL of water, which were subdivided randomly into …
Glyphosate induces neurotoxicity in zebrafish
Abstract: Glyphosate based herbicides (GBH) like Roundup® are used extensively in agriculture as well as in urban and rural settings as a broad spectrum herbicide. Its mechanism of action was thought to be specific only to plants and thus considered safe and non-toxic. However, mounting evidence suggests that GBHs may not be as safe as …
Diminished brain resilience syndrome: a modern day neurological pathology of increased susceptibility to mild brain trauma, concussion, and downstream neurodegeneration
Abstract: The number of sports-related concussions has been steadily rising in recent years. Diminished brain resilience syndrome is a term coined by the lead author to describe a particular physiological state of nutrient functional deficiency and disrupted homeostatic mechanisms leading to increased susceptibility to previously considered innocuous concussion. We discuss how modern day environmental toxicant …
