Concerns over use of glyphosate-based herbicides and risks associated with exposures: a consensus statement (2016, background): “Glyphosate and GBHs disrupt endocrine-signaling systems in vitro, including multiple steroid hormones, which play vital roles in the biology of vertebrates [21, 22, 24, 62].”
Chemical Pesticides and Human Health: The Urgent Need for a New Concept in Agriculture (2016, background): “Glyphosate-based herbicides, such as the wellknown “Roundup,” can cause DNA damages and act as endocrine disruptors in human cell lines (60) and in rat testicular cells (88), cause damages to cultured human cutaneous cells (89), and promote cell death in the testicular cells of experimental animals ”
Genetically modified crops safety assessments: present limits and possible improvements (2011, background): “This was also the case for hepatic human cell lines in a comparable manner, inducing nuclei and membrane changes, apoptosis and necrosis [ 24 ].”
