Effects of Glyphosate on Enzyme Activity and Serum Glucose in Rats Rattus norvegicus

Glyphosate is a pesticide that influences many blood parameters if taken orally or subcutaneously. This pesticide causes important changes in the metabolic activity which can be measured by organospecific enzyme activity such as liver aminotransferases (AST and ALT), while glucose acts as a stress,...
